Which version of Windows do you use?

On vista, right click on the internet/network symbol in the taskbar, go to the network and sharing center and then there are options for sharing at the bottom.

thanks for the help, strago. I am using vista, but the problem is that the option to turn off password sharing isnt there on my network and sharing centre.
