what's the meaning of lock pic on d/l files (AVIs)

[gallant205]

Hello, everybody.
I had a bad hard drive recently and had to reinstall shareaza. Since then, every AVI or mp3 file I get has an icon with a little picture of a 'lock' in the lower left hand corner. Anybody know what's the significance of that?

Thank you.

Not shared ("share" menu item was not checked or disk drive is absent).

Thank you raspopov.

After your post, I surveyed the shareaza preferences/options menus, i can't see where to change that status. How can I change this?

Thank you.

Right-click on any file or folder in the Shareaza library, and you can share or lock individual files and folders.

You must have chosen not to share your files during the installation. You can run the "Quickstart Wizard" any time you think you may have messed the settings.
Check the "Library" section of the prefs and make sure you have set "Allow others to browse shares"
