This question is one of the most famous questions in OTN forum 
So I decided to show the way to do it
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
NAME
——————————————————————————–

C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\TEST_TBS\UNDOTBS01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\TEST_TBS\SYSAUX01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\TEST_TBS\USERS01.DBF
SQL> alter tablespace users offline;
Tablespace altered.
