within their profile. By default users are allowed to share files within their profile to other
users on their network after an administrator opts in the computer.

An administrator can opt in the computer by using the sharing wizard to share a file within their
profile.

If you enable this policy setting, users cannot share files within their profile using the sharing
wizard.

Also, the sharing wizard cannot create a share at %root%\users and can only be used to create SMB
shares on folders.

If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, users can share files out of their user
profile after an administrator has opted in the computer.
