Where are shared resources flagged?

[Gustavus]

MyLANViewer shows as "shared resources" on my computer two items that I cannot find with the Microsoft search function or with FileLocator Pro. One is Netgear GA311 Setup and the other is Passmark Performance Test 6.1.1013. Both are shown with the hand holding the folder icon for a shared folder. I have searched the registry with regedit, and as I said all drives on the computer with search and file locator and can find neither item. I assume that they were at one time a shared resource on this machine, but they aren't now. Does anyone know where the flag for them might be stashed. I would like to get rid of the entries if I could -- just in the interest of having the machine not have strange things going on.

Should be able to see them in the computer manager (right click -> My Computer -> Manage) and then go to the Shared Folders section and shares. should show whats being shared and where

Thanks for the reply Dahak. I wasn't aware of that path, but unfortunately neither of the shared folders that MyLANViewer is showing as being shared appears when I expand shares.

And I just noticed that a downloads folder is shown as being shared in MyLANViewer. I have a downloads folder on my desktop but in Sharing and Security for it the "Do not share this folder" is checked and it does not show (on the desktop) the holding hand icon for a shared folder.

Really strange!
