| Sleepless I'm not quite sure that your answer is correct unless you have your entire drive shared. Let me explain my understanding of how I believe LW works: First of all, most (careful) people will only share a folder on their drive and not their entire disk. Within that folder LW will download and store the files you select. And within that list of files you can select any number of files that you do not want to share. However, if you move a file (or files) to a non-shared folder LW will not share those files regardless of whether the "shared attribute" has been turned off or on. So to share those files the folder/directory that they are in must first be "Shared". Now, you can share any number of files as long as the folder (or folders) that they are in are Shared. Finally, LW can only browse shared files in shared folders/directories and, of course, you can have any number Shared Folders At this point, I would like to ask any forum member if their interpretation of "shared files and folders" differ from mine and to reply accordingly. UK Bob PS. Please note that my post refers to using LW on a PC with a windows O/S. |
