“Wizards” are for noobs. People who know computers don’t need to be walked through steps using one. Here’s how to disable the annoying File Sharing Wizard in Windows 7 and Vista.
1. Click on the Start orb then Control Panel.
2. Select Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options.
3. Click on the View tab.
4. Uncheck the Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended) box.
Now when you right-click a folder and select Share, you will be taken to the Sharing tab under the folder Properties. The Share option will also be grayed out.

Yeah, like what wguru saysl – what does the “Sharing Wizard” do?
Article needs to disclose how sharing wizard’s an annoyance as I’ve never noticed anything and mine’s ticked, or is the author considering a not grayed out menu (that the user chose to open) an annoyance?
