User's Computer:Servers ?

What is the use of this section called servers? Is it a copy of everything on my hardrive? Because it seems to be under a different section than my harddrive.



Just (probably) a basic question.

    Yes.



    It's a holding area for fast access of servers on your network. If your own computer is serving files, it will appear there always.

    So did I do something when I setup the computer to make that there... or is it a default thing?

    Good question. It doesn't appear on my PB, but it does on my server upstairs. IIRC, it doesn't appear by default, you have to enable one of the appropriate server tasks, and then access it from the same machine, at which point it is cached. In other words, it's arcane but easy to run across.



    Bottom line, it isn't anything to worry about, really, if that's the case. If you're looking for a specific explanation, afraid I can't help you. \
