When I opened Limewire today I discovered I'm sharing more files than I have in my library, I checked the options to see if any programs were added to what I share and none were. I really concerned about the huge differential in files, can someome help me discover what they are, and how to prevent it in the future.

First thing is check your library and figure out what the other files are. You might have expanded a zip file and all the other support docs and stuff are now being shared. Or you might have accidently added a directory to share, its hard to accidently do, but I have done worse.

TYVM you hit it on the nose, when I opened simms zip file, it started to share individual docs although it's listed in my library as just a zip file. I was really worried my credit cards and other sensitive files were being shared with the world.
