There is a lock symbol on my desktop icons. Now, I have read around a bit and it seems that the cause of this is that I am not "sharing" with everyone on my home network. There are two things that puzzle me about this. First, I never created a home network. Second, and most importantly, this only occurred about two days ago, while I have had Windows 7 for over a month. Why would this suddenly happen? What could have changed "on its own"?
