For an enlightening look at how XoloX works, you could run lsof (yay Cygwin!) or similar utility (Taskinfo, Procexplorer) and look at XoloX.

Or perhaps I should say "try" to look at XoloX because the number of files that thing has open will make an attempted listing of these files bring most mortal machines down to their knees.

Gee, why do I see Photoshop listed? My installed Photoshop. And all my installed apps, actually. Which aren't in the shared folder. Which aren't even on the same drive as the shared folder. Indeed, it looks as if XoloX has a file handle open on every single file on my entire system. Hot damn!

Makes sense to index everything inmy shared folder, sure. I was perhaps expecting to see all the DLLs and runtime files and all my shared files, but certainly not thousands and thousands of files all over my system nto at all related to the functioning of XoloX in anyway.

Is this cool? Is this necessary? Hmmm.
