Remember Folder Views Shareaza remembers how a folder was viewed. For example as Thumbnails or as Detail view.

Watch library folders If this is checked Shareaza watches your library folders for changes. So it notices if you move a file in or out of a folder using the Windows explorer. If this is not checked, you have to use the scan command in the library to make Shareaza the changes to the folders.

Allow others to browse shares If this is checked other users can browse your shared files. Turning this feature off hurts the community. It offers no real extra security by turning it off.

Quick Hashing If this setting is checked, Shareaza will hash the files in your library faster, but will use more computing power during this process. It is by default off. This setting can also be accessed from the Home Tab (Ctrl-H).

Recent Files

Shareaza keeps a list of your recently downloaded files, which is displayed in the library. Here you can set how many files to keep in this list and for how long they're considered recent. You can also clear the list by clicking on the "Clear History Now" button. This History button does not affect Search History (clear search history is an option at the bottom of the pull-down menu in the search dialogue in the Home Tab).

Safe to Open

For file types not listed here Shareaza will display a dialog confirming whether you wish to open the file. The file types that, by default, are listed here are those that are very unlikely to be able to contain viruses. But this is definitely not a guarantee that nothing in this list could harm your computer. You should have an anti virus application installed to be safe. In addition be particularly careful of running executable (.exe) files you download.

Never share

Extensions listed here are never shared. For example if you want to make sure that your Microsoft Word files are never accidentally shared, enter doc here and click add. The file types that are listed here by default are never put in your library and are 'invisible' to Shareaza. The file types you add to the list yourself will still be visible to you in your library (but they will be blue coloured indicating not shared), just not shared or advertized (and so, completely invisible and unknown to others).

Store Collections Here
