Am I sharing more than my music?

[catharina]

Hello all,

I do not know if this is the right place for my question, but here goes:
someone told me that when I am downloading music from limewire (and sharing my music) I am also sharing ALL that is on my computer (as in: pictures, photographs, correspondence, e-mail etc.).

It that true? Or not?

Thank you in advance for any answers,

Catharina (the Netherlands).

Hmm, whether you're sharing all information on your pc or not depends on your setting. Go to LW>Tools>Option>Sharing
There you should see what folders you're actually sharing. If there are folders you do not want to share, just remove them. others you're willing to share you can add.
Hope that helps

You can also right-click any folder or file you see in the Library window & choose Stop Sharing. That's handy if you don't want to share all files in a particular folder.

Thank you. Now, why didn't I think of that myself?
