Are looking at your shared files index, or a search of the gnutella network? When you first instal XoloX, it gives you a list of directries it thinks you should share. for me, the only directory it reccomends is c:\program files o.O It doesn't check hidden folders at the initial run, so it doens't see my media folders; I have to add them manually into the registry because XoloX doens't let me type in a new shared directory, and the tree it uses doens't list hidden folders either *gasps for breath*

Anyway, a search in XoloX will not show any files YOU are sharing, only files OTHER people are sharing, and a lot of people that use the g'net do stupid things like share entire hard drives. Basic rules of sharing are: don't share entire hard drives unless they are devoted entirely to media alone, Don't share program or system folders, and and don't share temp (incomplete) download directories.

The only things XoloX shares that you don't tell it to are: itself (for sending updates to other clients), currently downloading jobs (to other XoloX users, propogates files faster), and the /downloads folder (Which you should be careful about changing from the default, because if you tell it to place completed downloads in c:\ then your entire C drive will be shared)

(Edit)
PS, to the originator of this thread: I downloaded Taskinfo200, and am watching XoloX. It has the following files open: a few index.dat files related to IE (and not looked at, file pos = 0 usually 3 or 4) SHDOCVW.DLL (loaded) and any currently active segments that are downloading.

My guess is if you see programs listed there it's because you are running them at the time and listing all open files on the system, not just what's open by XoloX. If you see more than a few index.dat files, a DDL, and whatever active downloads open, send a screenshot of whatever it is you're seeing because I can't duplicate it. (For the record, XoloX is also currently using 110 handles, 107 windows, 6 threads, and is averaging < 1% CPU usage when in the tray.)
