sessions in shared folders

Hi, I got a question regarding the Sessions folder in Shared Folders in Computer Management. What exactly does this folder tell you? I'm on a network here, and I can see that certain user is connected in here. Does this actually mean anything?

Sessions contains the following information about all the network users who are connected to the computer:

Ok, what I mean is the connection established because the user is consciously connecting to my PC or is this part of some network scan that PCs in a workgroup do periddically? Also I'm not actively sharing anything. The default shares are the ones created by WinXP (Admin$, C$ and IPC$), don't know if that makes a difference. I really want to make sure of this.
