I just installed a new hard drive and installed windows 7 64 bit on it. I
copied the settings from the old hard drive to the new. Now when I down load
a file it shows a lock icon on the file. When I take it to another location
like the desktop the lock goes away. I also noticed when I right click on
icons now I have a sharing selection that I did not in the past have. How do
I get rid of this. I am the only user and I dont want to use homegroups or
anything like that.
