Who is connecting to my Shared Folders

Sometimes, my computer/laptop starts to slow down for no apparent reason. Usually when this happens, I tend to look at my Shared Folders. The following is a way to find out who has been connecting to my shared folders, and see if it is the cause of the slowness:
  1. Goto Start > Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management
  2. On the left hand side, look under System Tools > Shared Folders > Sessions


That's it. The right hand panel is the place where you can find all the users who are connecting to your Shared folders. There are basically 2 ways to disconnect them from Computer Management:
  1. Right-click on Sessions on the left hand side, and click on Disconnect all sessions
  2. Right-click on the user on the right hand side, and click on Close Session

Of course there is one other way to disconnect them. That is to unshare your files. :)
