How may I completely disable Personal file sharing over blue tooth and get rid of the green banner in my Downloads directory?

No idea.
I have consulted my crystall ball, and asked it “what does he mean?” - but it refused to answer.
Maybe I did not use a cloth of the proper quality. The manual says “silk”, but as it is so
expensive, I used “nylon”.
So… Can you try again to explain what the problem is?

When I open my ~/Downloads, there is a green bar. I would like to get rid of it…

Ah.
So, you are using gnome. 11.2 or what version? Please, be more verbose, I have to guess it all…
What do you see if you click on “launch preferences”?
How about going to the control center, bluetooth preferences, untick “make this computer discoverable”.

Sorry using 11.3 (isn’t everybody ;))
Only Bluetooth thingy in control center is “Bluetooth Properties”. There are no Bluetooth devices plugged in
Hi
If you go to Control Center -> Startup Application and disable ‘Personal File Sharing’ maybe? 
I go there after a fresh install and turn off all the remote access, remote desktop, gnome do, tracker etc off as well.
All those are turned off. I guess we think alike
Nothing I do gets rid of that green bar. It’s such a minor thing, but it’s sitting there taunting me… taunting my inability to get rid of it… laughing in my face…
I guess the thing to take away here is that it is really minor but it is starting to bug me because I want to know

Well it’s gone from mine, but I also use a softlink to my downloads
directory on a different drive (share with SLED11). What happens if you
rename it and then create a new dowloads directory, does it still
appear?

Yeah it’s a soft link here too. It points at a directory called downloads on a second drive. I have created a second link to the same directory called tester and there is no green bar, so it seems to be to do with the name. I could just use a different symlink name but that would feel like losing
Maybe I should delete the symlink and re-create it to see if it goes away… in fact back in a minute.
[edit]Nope it’s back![/edit]
Hi
Remove gnome-user-share;
sudo zypper rm gnome-user-share
logout/login
Else you could move/rename
/usr/lib{64}/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-share-extension.so

The uninstall worked but it feels like that should be a user setting somewhere and that I haven’t found it. Ah well. At least it’s gone!
Thank you for your help.

Nope. I use 11.1 with KDE 3.5 because KDE 4 isn’t ready yet from my
point of view.
