Win10 - Non-Shared drives appear in remote list

Question

Win10 Pro for those who need to know.

dang. this is kinda tough to explain. i have 3 drives. one, i shared, the other two, i did not. when i go to access them from, say, my Android, i see ALL the drives, listed as $A, $B and $D, and ANOTHER named entry for the shared drive (eg. $D -> Spats). stranger still, i can only access the named drive (as expected) but NOT the other $ designated drives.

1) why am i seeing the othet drives AT ALL? 2) how do i fix it so i ONLY see Spats?

TIA crew!

WR!

A dollar sign in front of the sharename is the way to hide a share. What Android app are you using? — MatsK, Sep 29 '17 at 04:56
