I had no idea it was doing this either until your post. I got the same |
| 45 |
questions as you do. Why is it there? Why so much is allocated to it? |
| 46 |
Where can we change the settings for this questionable "feature"? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I'm hoping someone will come along and answer both our questions. I'm |
| 49 |
really hoping for a place we can change the settings. I don't mind it |
| 50 |
being there so much if it is useful. I would like to know its purpose |
| 51 |
tho. |
