If you want to customize each folder icon for your shared folders, you can do that as well. Right click your shared folder and choose Properties. Then go to the Customize tab and click on the Change Icon button. Then pick an icon you want to use for sharing and click Ok.


Now it will be easy to tell that the folder is shared. Keep in mind that if you unshare the folder you will have to manually change the icon back to the normal folder icon.

Is the document in the public documents folder (Homegroup settings)?

May have to uncheck Documents library in the Homegroup settings. Or possibly turn off Public Folder sharing:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

Is the folder listed under Computer Management>Shared Folders>Shares?

Here's a pretty extensive list of windows icons and I don't believe I saw yours on this page at all...maybe 3rd party or newer win 10 icons...sorry.
