How can I prevent folder unsharing in Windows XP?
547654
Right click the folder and go back into properties and uncheck the "share this folder" box. It is really that easy and simple. As the owner of the file you can choose how and when you wish to share. You can share for long enough to just allow somebody a quick peek or for weeks, months and years. Until somebody higher up in the company decides to take ownership of this file from you, you can continue to share as you please. It is possible though for your administrator to take over ownership of any file and folder on the network. It is not difficult to do. You would know right away when that occurred and most admins really will tell you what they are going to do before they do it, but it is still something he/she can do. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

That didn't work, try this...\n\nIn Windows Explorer, open up the Tools Menu, Folder Options, Hit the View Tab.  In the "Advanced Settings" box, scroll down until you see "Remember each folder's view settings" and make sure its checked. Hit Apply at the bottom, then "Apply to all folders" button at the top.\n\nBrowse to your folder and change it to how you like, then close explorer and run it again and see if it kept it this time.\n\nIf it did, make sure you reboot the PC so Windows will keep those settings.

If ur folders are in My Documents, then right click on My Documents, click on Properties. Inside Properties, click on General, click on Advanced. Now u r in "Advanced Attributes" window. Under Advanced Attributes windows, uncheck the option "compress contents to save disk space". Select all subfolders & files, click on OK. That's it.

First run a virus scan on them.  If its safe, try opening one.  Chances are you can delete them.  I've never heard of a program that uses those files.

I use mac, so i think you go to tools, and there will be something to clean out files that are unuseful. Sorry i cannot remember the name of the program.

Try this. Open control panel, then click "tools" (at the top). Select "folder options", then "view", scroll down and check the box marked "remember each folder's view settings". If that doesn't work, drink heavily.
