Posted March 9, 2007 Just noticed two more: Share skiplist - file names patterns specified there will not be shared (f. ex. *.dll;privatefile.*) Please confirm if "*" works for "name.*" Winamp - self-explanatory (and not really advanced, moving it?) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2007 Just noticed two more: Share skiplist - file names patterns specified there will not be shared (f. ex. *.dll;privatefile.*) Please confirm if "*" works for "name.*" Winamp - self-explanatory (and not really advanced, moving it?) The winamp thing is, I think, fairly advanced because it's setting what is displayed when you use the /w command. You could state what all the different things that could go in there are, but I think that is outside the scope of this guide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
