Found this so I'll leave it to you to decide if you go for it or not 
Many are finding the links to all of the shared folders on your system to be pretty annoying. This may be the system default setting, but you certainly do not have to live with it. Here is how to remove the Shared Documents Folders from My Computer.
Go to Start > Run and type in: regedit
Hit [Enter] on your keyboard
Navigate through the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ My Computer \ NameSpace \ DelegateFolders
Click once on DelegateFolders to empty its contents in the right pane.
You will see a sub-key named: {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}Deleting this sub-key will remove all of the Shared Documents Folders.
It is not necessary to reboot to see this change.
