| | I'm sure I sound crazy, but I gotta know if my kids can see... any of the stuff (especially private pics) on my Windows Media Center. I am new to Vista and my husband said that he got a pop-up on his computer asking if he wanted to "share" my Media Center?! He didn't click "yes", so I am not sure what would happen if he did. We are all on wireless computers through Linksys router in my home w/ extenders throughout. Obviously I don't want my kids to be able to access any of my pics... can this happen? Would I be prompted to allow or disallow sharing? I just want to make sure that my pics remain private. Thanks. -- Peace! Deb in Jupiter, FL |
