shared folder Live Messenger

Could someone please help with the following:
I am in need of understanding how shared folders work for some personal
reasons.
When I open "My Computer" there is a "Shared Folder" icon. When I double
click the shared folder it opens up and inside is another folder (labelled
with and email address and a picture attached of that person).
Within that folder is a number of music files.
My question is this....how did that folder and subsequent music files get
there?
Who put them there?
Now I do have someone in my home who uses my computer and live messenger and
they are . Obviously, the two message eachother.
Is it the one sharing the music files or is it xyz sending
the files?

Can someone please help. I need to know who created the sharing folder and
who is sharing the files. Again is it abc to xyz or xyz to abc.

Thanks for your help.

Signed,
Concerned!

Greetings,

The e-mail addresses shown in the Sharing Folders file are the Windows Live ID of the person
someone is sharing folders with.

Creating a sharing folder and its contents can be added by either yourself or one of your
contacts. The other person has to accept the create the sharing folder but after that,
anything can be put in it by either side without prompts. As such, there is no way to tell
who added them without logging into the Windows Live ID in question.

If for some reason you can log into Messenger using the account of the person you speak of,
you can open the Sharing Folders from the toolbar icon in the main Messenger window, and then
choose the 'Activity Log' button to see who added the files to the folder.
