This is definitely undesired. Is there any option to disable this

Presumably on the PC's, there are.
If you can read the data, they ARE shared. This is Windows config
issue, not a Fedora/linux one.
[please don't top-post - rearranged]
What would be the windows config issue? Or would it be a problem in the
windows networking protocol? But I can't see the unshared drives on any
other Win machines within the network. such a fantastic feature make me
hesitate to use linux.
So there's a serious security problem with Windows networking and Windows
doesn't even make you aware that the problem exists? Surely that should
make you hesitate to use Windows...
