I used the Windows XP network setup wizard to make my network setup easier. I prompted me to create a disk to just insert in other computers, so I thought, why not? I made the disk an inserted it in my Windows 98 computer, ran the network setup wizard-everything went smooth and worked well. I happened to notice that I have a shareddocs folder under my computer's name in network neighborhood. I cannot take control of it using properites. When I try to access it says it is inaccessible from both the Windows 98 computer, and other computers on my network. I have searched using Windows Explorer, making sure that show all files option is checked. The only other thing would be to modify the registry, would it? Where would I go to do that?

The shareddocs share is part of Windows XP. You should be able to disable it via My Computer in XP.

Open My Computer and right-click on the shareddocs link then select properties.
Goto the Sharing tab and choose not to share the folder.

I have turned off all my XP machines, and I highlight the folder but I cannot delete it. I would like to delete it.

You can't delete it. You need to Disable Sharing.
