Default I'm sure I sound crazy, but I gotta know if my kids can see...

any of the stuff (especially private pics) on my Windows Media Center. I am
new to Vista and my husband said that he got a pop-up on his computer asking
if he wanted to "share" my Media Center?! He didn't click "yes", so I am not
sure what would happen if he did. We are all on wireless computers through
Linksys router in my home w/ extenders throughout. Obviously I don't want my
kids to be able to access any of my pics... can this happen? Would I be
prompted to allow or disallow sharing? I just want to make sure that my pics
remain private. Thanks.

Open Network and Sharing Center and turn off all sharing.
