Looks to me like a feature, not a bug. As long as I'm changing the
path to wherever I want (either I disable or enable sharing) it's
my fault as user. Kazaa comes with a standard target folder so the
default installation *IS HARMLESS*.

Once more this shows that Kazaa is not an 'idiot-proof' program like
many other :(.
