I had to rearrange the drives on one of my computers recently. Drive letters changed as did drive names. I reshared the drives once I had finished. Now in Network Neighborhood for that computer I have 6 non-existant shared drives that I can not delete. How can I "unshare" the non-existant drives or otherwise get rid of them?

steigrafx,
It wasn't quite that simple... But thanks to you I did find out how to "unshare" the "non-existant" drives. Turns out that they did exisit! I was unaware that I could share a drive more than once under different names and drive letters!! I did a right click on a drive in Windows Explorer, as you suggested, clicked on Sharing and Security, then opened the pull down window and saw that the drive was shared under 2 different names and drive letters!!! So I was able to remove the shares I didn't want!!!! Now every thing is happy in Network Neighborhood Land. Thanks.
