That is why the default was to have it set to no - so you could only see your own "home" directory. Ether way is ok for a home network, but it can cause problems in a larger setting. Too many shares visable that you can not connect to makes it hard to find the ones you want.
You can get a list of visable shares using "smbclient -L <machine name>" under Linux. It gives you more information then from Windows. Linneighborhood will give you about the same picture as Windows sees. Just pick "scan as user" to see what that user would see.
