Windows 10: Folders show as 'Shared'. How to disable Sharing?

Seems some system folders are showing the 'Shared' icon in the lower-left of the window.

Does anyone know how to disable file and folder sharing across the OS?

(P.S. Think I've asked this before but nobody provided a solution that yielded any results).
