This causes a UDP packet storm on the primary (which could be you if
you connect as a primary), dumping their connection and temporarily
stranding all the secondary connections they were servicing.
Better to use the tried and tested method of including " -settings"
in the filename of the search. If you do see a huge inflow of fake
users comming in, best to click "Stop" and "Close" then re-search
using a more global filter such as " -s" or "-and."
You will miss out on those ignorant users that put their shared files
in the documents and settings folder(s) but at least you won't get
thousands of bogus results from 99% of the fake sites that do show
their crap in the Documents and Settings folders.
The remainder of your advice is correct. You can do your step #5
(browse) from the search window, skipping step #4.
