    Must the "Shared" category of Windows Easy File Transfer be included?


    If I include all of the Users on my PC in a Transfer, why do I need the Shared Files?

    I am assuming that a copy of all Files will be somewhere in the User Files transferred.

    Am I right or wrong as the Shared files are a very big number.

    Shared Files within the users section? I learned something today. I'll follow this thread to gain more understanding.
