Default How to Restrict File Sharing to Music Folder Only

Hi. I've just upgrade to Limewire 5.2.8 and I can't figure out how to restrict files. I'm open to sharing all my music files but not photos or documents. Can someone please help direct me? This new version seems to have less control options. Cheers, B

Click on library, Public Shared, then documents .... select first file & whilst holding down shift key scroll down to last & select it, then right-click & choose Remove from Library.

Another similar way to do it is click on Public Shared -> All, then right-click heading bar & choose show Type. Then click that heading so it arranges files in order of kind of file. Scroll down to Documents, select the first one, then scroll down to the last Image type whilst holding SHIFT key & select it & then right-click it & choose Remove from Library. That will remove all documents & images from sharing in a single action.

Default Thank you Lord of the Rings

Thank you for your reply!! I really appriciate it. Now...is there any way to make this the default setting for all documents/pictures or do I have to keep an eye on that "All" tab to make sure I'm only sharing audio??

Thanks again!

LW's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> My Files. Disable all categories except Audio if you only wish to share audio. You also have the option to have a warning each time you share a new folder so you have a choice of not sharing particular types when you do share. See example of the warning message in the Drag & drop folders to share in Birdy's 2nd post:http://www.gnutellaforums.com/346792-post2.html
