You should look at the file sharing settings of you operating systems which may vary from one OS to another. I have stayed at hotels where the network settings for their 'free' WiFi had very few security settings and any PC could see any other PC on the lan, it would not be unusal to see PCs sharing music/video/photos/documents and the person using that PC is probably oblivious to the fact.
When I use a network scanner with my LAN (I use http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/) I will see everything that each computer is set to share, that's without any kind of Netgear Genie running.
