Thanks guys. I have learned something about peer-to-peer systems. So if I am on a Napster-like site, am I authorizing full access to all my computer files to anyone else on the Napster-like site?

What OS are you using, and how is it configured? If it isn't one that enforces an access control list with specific permissions for specific users on specific folders (read: Windows 9x), or if you do not use access controls to restrict remote users to accessing only those specific folders you're sharing via Napster on a read-only basis, then you're basically hanging the "Come One, Come All" sign out.

Thanks. I need to hit the books and learn more about access controls. I am using Windows ME.
