Hi Colombichaso,
Your boss is right. She would only be able to connect to shared folders.
Unless you set a folder up to be shared the default is not shared. To check a folder right click on it and select Properties then Sharing.
Should you want to share a folder create one, right click on it, select properties and select share. Anything you put in this folder can be shared by anyone connected to your computer.

if you have any shared directories on your computer (you'll see a little hand under the folder or hard drive) then he can access your computer.

unless your downstairs neighbor is a hacker, your boss is right...

She can browse your computer pare-say, but she probably can see what sites you have visited.
