how can i STOP shared printers automatically coming up in
my printers list?

can i also STOP all shared folders coming up in my
network places folder
 
Yes, this is a feature. Explorer has the ability to go out and make
connections to all print and file shares so you do not have to (and as in
your case, do not want to). But you have the ability to disable this.

Open any shell folder window
Tools / Folder Options
View Tab
uncheck
Automatically search for network folders and printers
OK

I think you need to delete any connections that the explorer has already
made.
