I think what you want to do is open the local group policy of your computer
    (MMC->Add Snap in -> group Policy)

Find:
User Configurations\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows
Explorer

Here there is a setting titled 'Remove Shared Documents from My Computer'
    - Enable this setting
