If recently d/l LimeWire version 1.7beta, you can specify which directory you want your files to be saved to and shared from.

You can also specify more than one directory for sharing.

Look in Tools>Options.

Also - Have you tried changing the name of the directory back to shared?

Experiment and let us know how you get on
