I tried setting up a share on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine to my Win7 machine. I right clicked on a folder in Ubuntu and chose the Sharing options and gave it read and write permissions too. Now the problem is, I chose my Videos folder to be shared, but when I access it on my windows machine, I can see my whole system! To top it of, it has write permissions too. How do I revoke this and share only that one folder?
I deleted all the shares and tried smbclient -L localhost and I got
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.3]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (xyz server (Samba, Ubuntu))
print$ Disk Printer Drivers
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.3]
Server Comment

Workgroup Master

WORKGROUP XYZ
which lists no shared folders, but I can still access them through my windows machine.
Other things I tried
net usershare list (lists nothing)
ls -l /var/lib/samba/usershares (returns total 0)
smbstatus --shares
Service pid machine Connected at

I'm at my wits end. Someone please help me.
