That sounds like something that has come from a file-swapping program like
Kazaa, Limewire, Bearshare, or the like. If you have teenagers, that's how

My Sharing Folders comes from Windows Live Messenger 8.0. Check your
settings on using shared folders.
Messenger's default is to always use Shared Folders.

Thanks for that information. Since I don't have that program on any of my
Windows machines I didn't know that. I've made a note. Thanks again.
