I've been using windows8.1 for 6 months now. Tonight I found this thing worry me much.
under NETWORK icon in winodws file explorer, go down to computer name, profile name and the folder searches I found an icon named "search everyplaces" like folder or file or symbolic link, when I click on it I could see all files on my hard disk drive. I've deleted the icon as soon as I found out it takes me to my entire HDD access, the only folder left in searches folder is
winrt--{S-1-5-21-1416695033-2912148431-1595073808-1001}-
this does nothing so I leave it along...
some questions here.
1. what settings make this happen? I disable network share in homegroup (disable it) still I see this searches folder on NETWORK.
2. where must I do to disable this?
3. is this whole thing I should worry about that others maybe able to access my system from outside or LAN?
4. does this exist by default in widnows8.1?
windows ver: Win8.1 Traditional Chinese with all latest updates done
thx in advance
