Private Sharing folders

Is there a way to stop other users from accessing my sharing folders through
the C:/?

I deleted the shortcut from their documents, but there's the main folder in
the root of C:/ which I can't move or do anything with besides make
shortcuts. Is there any way to make it so they can't get in to it? Please
hurry, this is urgent...

RE: Private Sharing folders

Are they sharing the same Windows User Account with you?
Make them use their own User Account and password-protect your User Account.

Or if you insist on hiding it, try this:
