Downloading files in Ubuntu makes them "shared" in Vista

Downloading files in Ubuntu makes them "shared" in Vista If I download files using Ubuntu, and store them on my Vista partition, when I go to Vista, they all appear with the sharing icon on them. In the sharing dialog (right click > share > change permissions) it says the following (doesn't mean anything to me, but maybe it helps someone answering):

"The reason it is probably showing up as shared because you have the containing folder / a higher folder shared and it is inheriting the setting.

Sharing is about sharing files over the network and not from another operating system on the same physical system.

If you go to the top level share, just unshare it and then new items you create will not be shared.

For example, if I have - c:\share as a shared folder, anything I create in it will automatically be shared unless I manually set it not to be. This is for both folders and files.

If I unshare c:\share, any new objects will not be shared by default."

Just right-click the folder and select sharing, "in Vista" I was given an option to unshare. It worked to remove the sharing icon.
