I turned on my PS3 just now to watch a Blu-ray...  Under the video tab ALL of my mother's photo's and videos from her own personal PC are there!  How the hell is this possible?  She has her own PC laptop which is not connected to my PS3 in any way shape or form.  Worst of all, it will not let me delete them!  Why is this happening all of a sudden and what can I do about it?  How is my PS3 picking up what she is not even putting on the internet?!

You're on the same network, and Windows likes to share stuff in your My Pictures/Pictures Library, etc. across devices on the same network.

There's probably a setting in the PS3 menu to not accept that stuff, but otherwise it'll have to be done on her end.

You are seeing shared files over your home network. These are files that your mom put in a "shared folder" on her computer they are not being stored in your PS3. Is the same feature that lets you stream video and music form one computer to another or to the PS3 (within your home network not the internet).

Here is what to do on your PS3 menu.
1. Go to Settings.
2. Choose Network Settings.
3. Choose Media Server Connection.
4. Choose Disable.

P.S. It's not a Crisis, it's a standard basic feature of all home networks.

The quick solution to change the shared file setting in your moms computer.

Where do we find this?  She doesn't want her stuff on my PS3 anymore than I do.  Where is the Shared foler?  Neither one of us are particularly good with computers
