WOW thanks for the very INFORMATIVE link!!!
I see I can turn all that file acquisition and LISTING crap off
However I still need clarification on the files there in the Searches folders up to now.
Can I safely delete them and not have my programs get ruined? I read on a forum elsewhere some
guy deleted these files and his programs didn't work then....
Once I can get rid of these files there now, then I will apply the "stop" as stated in the link
and my problem will be solved then!
Thank you very much for your help!
