Document Library issue: Permissions > Guests See Everything!

Permalink
Okay, can someone tell me why my file permissions seems to do what I want for both users and admins but not for guests? Users see only their uploaded files ("mine") and admins see everything. Guests see everything too! I've tried all that I know. Using Concrete 5.4. Yes, I can block the guests from seeing the page, but I would prefer them to see the page but not the files. That would seem reasonable and doable, right? I've made the obvious choices in the Dashboard>File Manager>Access page.

Need help. Thanks.

Maybe the Experts can look into this:

Solved - but Weird: After great frustration; under Dashboard>File Manager>Access within the Guests radio buttons: I had two choices "View Site Files" (NO) and "Search Site Files" (NO). Result: All files displayed as a Guest - everything was fine as a User or Admin. I finally clicked: "Search Site Files" (MINE) and then the next three options that expanded: "Edit Files" (NO), "Admin Files" (NO) and "Add Files" (NO). WhaLa! Works like a charm.

Weird, right? Shouldn't my original settings have worked?
