I believe that shares are intended to be visible.  The following is a direct
quote from the info included with the webserver docs:

---------
To restrict access to a folder

   1.In My Computer, right-click the folder you want to restrict access to,
and then click Sharing.
   2.Click Shared As, and then click Web Sharing.
   3.Select the Share Folder For HTTP check box.
---------

et cetera...

I'm not sure if this point has been raised before now, but with the recent
issues containing about /....../ and so on, Shares are accessible via
personal Web Server.

For Example, I tried sharing my WinZip Directory as 'Test' and strangely
enough http://127.0.0.1/Test/ brought up the WinZip Directory.

Does anyone know of problems caused by this ?
