shared directory problem

[ComatoseDelirium]

In bearshare when I try to edit any settings in the downloads tab, i get the notice that : "the temp directory cannot be a subdirectory of a shared folder" I checked the folder and the drive and both are not being shared, how would I go about disabling a shared folder?

so have you tried to unshare in both the program and windows explorer?

You have done this (similar, anyway)

Shared "c:\mydownloads" as your, umm, shared folder. Or an entire drive.

Put "c:\mydownloads\temp" as your temp (or a folder within that drive).

Therefore, share c:\temp which is outside of your downloads folder, or make your temp drive on a different drive (bad idea, full-on copy will ensue when it's complete).

The way I have it setup currently is 'D:\My Shared Folder\Temp\' is my temp folder, and D:\My Shared Folder\ for completed downloads, I attempted to make a new temp folder just on D, my storage drive, but the same problem occured, would I have to install Bearshare onto D, not C my main drive?
