Windows PCs enable users to share files, folders and drives on a network known as a "workgroup." A workgroup is a phrase used to explain 2 or more PCs that all access the same local network. This can be great for both office as well as individual use, as all PCs connected to the network can access files at once. If determined that no longer want to share a particular drive with the workgroup, removing it is very easy.

• Log on as the administrator of the local network on PC that the drive is connected to. If PC is booted up but is not logged on as the network administrator, just "Log Off" and log in again under the right user name.

• Step 2

Open "My Computer".

• Step 3

Right click on the drive to remove and go to "Sharing and Security".

• Step 4

Check "Make this folder private."

• Step 5

Hit "OK". And Close "My Computer".
