I want to share a single folder between two PCs in my house, both on Win 10.

The problem seems to be that my PC seems to only want to share EVERYTHING on my PC with the second PC.

I have left the Homegroup on both PCs and I turned off file/printer sharing and then go to the folder I want to share, but as soon as I enable sharing for that single folder the second PC can see and interact with everything on my PC- my desktop, documents, etc.

I recall sharing used to work by only sharing the single file that was shared across the network but since switching to Win10 I can't seem to make this happen. Either nothing is shared, or everything seems accessible.

What's the proper way to share a single folder between two PCs on a network? I can make that happen easily, but the problem is that my PC seems to be sharing everything else too... I just want to share one single folder.
