-user -settings means to exclude the words "user" and "settings" from your search results.
Fakers often show \Documents and Settings\ or \User\ in their "shared" pathnames.
Display your search results showing full paths to determine which words are best
candidates for exclusion when you get lots of fakers. db wrote the book on filters and
WinMX, BTW.
