Solution > : open registry and find out for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrrentVersion/Explorer/My Computer/Namespace/DelegateFolders . There exist the subkey {5903a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} . Delete it and restart computer .

If you mean remove them from MY Computer (not sure if you did) you can use TweakUI, from teh powertoys..

You cna also remove shared folders from other network users by going to the folder under all users and unsharing shared documents.

Simply right click on "My Documents" while in Explorer, click properties, "Sharing" tab, and click "Do Not Share".

Pretty easy.

Try to do the following.
Go to the properties tab of the folder or folders that you want to restrict the access to. Under the general tab, click on the advanced button. There should be an option to encrypt your files. Enable it, and now you are the only one that can open the files.

Or you can try the following.
Enable Simple File Sharing. This will allow a security tab to be dislplayed under the properties of folder. You can then add, users and set the restrictions that they have on those folders.
