Would I be correct in assuming that there is no security risk involved with shared files IF the ethernet connection is disabled? I'm planning a Win2K Pro virtual disk install using the beta and once it's up to spec update-wise, I intend to turn off the ethernet (don't need/want to use it) and then allow file sharing. My intention is to use Thumbs+ as my image manager, at least until I find an equally capable program I can afford.
gosh why make things so complicated? I trust a tough firewall Picassa in google tools is a pretty good image manager tools.google.com And the finder generates thumbnails in Mac OS Hugh W
