** Description changed: If I restart my machine after I shared a folder the "shared" icon is missing and the context-menu share-option is turned off as if the folder isn't shared anymore. If I access the folder from another computer over the network the folder is still shared. So I can't determine from within the system which folders are shared and can't really unshare them. Workaround: Look which folders are shared from another computer/vm, share them again and deselect sharing without rebooting.
