Check-boxes for sharing/unsharing subfolders or files

Description:
What I loved about WinMX is the ability to edit the sharing attribute of individual files or subfolders. I frequently make remixes and I have my global music folder sorted out properly, with my remix folders being inside it.
Too many greedy people tend to queue up entire folders whether they actually need every file in said folders or not. And most of them just refuse to listen when you tell them "you don't need those", and refuse to take them off their download queue when you request them to. They're also remix project files from the various software I use, and I certainly don't want people to have them.
My global music folder has 100s of subfolders and I certainly don't want to have to manually select each subfolder for sharing (which is how I can only do it now). I also don't want to relocate my remix folders because it messes with the file location data within the project files (file missing error).
WinMX solved that problem by allowing you control over your shares. You could view subfolders and containing files, and you could uncheck whichever file/folder within you didn't want to share. If the only way to deal with this issue is to "unshare" every stupid person on Slsk, there wouldn't be anybody left to download from me.
