    err well i guess not disable but...i just want to close the whole home network i set up. basically i want it so that i dont have a home network on both computers, or i want everything to be the way it was before i set up the home network.

    Then delete all the stuff you want to get rid of then. Since you dont need it anymore.

    When two computers are plugged intot he same router, there's a network. If you don't want to share folders, turn that off.

    Yeah, im not under standing this, like brian said, 2 computers connected=network. If you dont want to network those then get rid of the router. But what are you exactly wanting to do?
