What have the cookies from bearshare.net to do with sharing your HD?

The thread started with the cookies... and the entire HD discussion was offtopic and about Morpheus!

I cheked this...

Yes there are some files that could be cookies...

but bearshare donīt shares them automatically - only if you change the settings! For example you choose to share your entire HD - its is a stupid choice...

Note:

Bearshare shares only the files which you can see under "files"... so check this...

Wait a minute!   A year-and-a-half????

BearShare has been out for only a year!!  And the reporting of this cookie sharing problem is not even a year old yet.  Stop trying to sensationalize things.

you look a little to closely at things.

Go to setup> shareing. if C: is listed remove it and add just the folders with the files you wish to share.

You can't tell me all these people are stupid enough to share their whole drive, and besides that, wouldn't they all show up on the shared screen thing?
Why is it hard to find basic windows files? Are you saying it must only be sharing the first level of the C: drive?
Why don't you tell us where these files come from, are they on your computer somewhere? Where?
I don't have them here, but I don't visit "barbie" sites nor do I use IE.
Maybe it's a security flaw with IE?
I remember when bearshare started to suck, and it was more than a year ago!
