I think it's not dead. lol I think you may have accidentally changed something by mistake. Check your settings for LW. Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Sharing & see what folders you have there for sharing. If these have disappeared then you'll need to re-add them. Likewise if you want to share your LW download folder, go to Tools>Options>Saving & make a note of the folder name & location, & go back to Sharing option & Add this. Press the Apply button. Now you can go back to your LW Library & press Refresh, wait a few minutes & your files will be back. You should also be able to Explore any of these folders. See how you go.
