Sharing public profile by default

Which are the public folders that are shared by default in Vista?
I want to reset the sharing of the public folders to default.
I know these are shared:

documemt
downloads
video
music
favorites
pictures

Is the desktop folder shared?

Hi,

By default, no, the public desktop folder is not shared.

I checked again, how about the public favorite folder? Is it shared by
default?

Hi,

Yes, that one is shared by default when public sharing is enabled.

But the public favorite folder is hidden by default. How is it shared?

Hi,

The hidden attribute is not affected by sharing, they are two different
things. If you enable public folder sharing in the network and sharing
center, then that folder is made available to the network and will show as a
share folder.

Thanks, but is there a way to reset all public folder sharing to the
default setting?
Is there a utility to reset?
Is there a utility to see all folders that are shared right now?
