Seeing my own shared files in search results

[mjkohl]

Should I be seeing my own shared files in search results? After updating LimeWire Pro to version 4.2.3, I am often seeing more of my own files in search results than others. I don't recall this happening before this update. Anyone have any input on this?

I also have a lot of files, when I installed Limewire, nothing to do with music, but scared to get rid, in case I delete something by mistake, how do you know what should be there and what not

Thanks

What kind of files are you talking about?

PS. A screen print of the folder/directory concerned would be a good idea.

I did a screen print, but you dont have a paste, in this box, and there is no URL, in that program, I tried to take it to word, all I can do is email it to you

Thanks

It is under saved files on Limewire, does that make sense

Hi Rita

You said:

But if you look at the symbols above where we are writting our messages you will see an icon of a paper clip, click it. You will then be able to attach your screen print to your post. After that I, and every body else, will see the files you are talking about.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I got it, what I did was uninstall and reinstall, and all I have now is my music, and also I just got to burn to a C D so looks like I am fine for now, Thank you all so much for your help, much appreciated

this is some sort of arcane bug in LW...its not supposed to happen, but I've seen it myself a few times when I used to use LW...I once mentioned it to one of the devs and got a rather snippity response (one of the reasons I not longer use LW, rather use http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...sabotaged.html instead...blows the socks offa LW
