During installation of Windows Live Messenger 8, a "file sharing" is created in my computer, which enables sharing of documents with your contacts.

Below is a process of how to remove this function if same unused

Solution

Manual modification of registry

First of all, make a back up of your registry before any modification

Deleting my sharing Folder

First of all, go to menu Start and select Run.
In the open window, type regedit.

In the registry, go to scroll to below key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}
Add the sign "-" ('minus') before "{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}" to obtain


-{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}

Below is another solution which however may not be reliable

Deleting my sharing folder

Go to menu Start and select Run
