Hey fairy06,

Are you using Windows XP Professional, or the Home Edition? Depending on which edition you're using, you can either disable file sharing, completely remove file sharing, or make certain files and folders private; which of the three would you like to do? (NOTE: the first option is only available in XP pro).

To disable File Sharing in Windows XP Professional, please do the following:

• Choose Start --> My Computer
• In the new window, select Tools and then Folder Options.
• Click the View tab.
• Click Advanced Settings.
• Clear the Simple File Sharing check box.
• Click Apply.
• Click OK.

File sharing should now be disabled on your computer, and your brother should no longer be able to see your files, etc.
