ok, here we go...
First, it's the best way to print this text, for best results it's better to shut down your internetbrowser during this progress.
Second, I've typed it out all the way, read it first. Even when you are unexperienced you can do the trick, but it has become quite a long story this way, so again, print the text for your own comfort and read it carefully.
Third and last, do exactly as I've told and type exactly as I have typed, including spacebars etc.
Good luck!
Now, close al your programs, including your internetbrowser and possible firewalls, viruscanners etc.
Then navigate to the folder where .limewire is located, I imagine it is in your "documents and settings\user" folder (default). Create a new folder in your "Documents and settings\user" folder, here in my example I called it: "delete"
Now drag and drop your ".limewire" folder in this "delete" folder
Now, open a command-prompt ( Start > execute > then type "cmd" in the execute window).
You now see a black window with a text like: C:\> when C:\ is your harddrive
It's also possible that you are now already in the C:\Documents and settings\user> folder, this will save you some time. If you are in another folder (like C:\>) do the following:
Now navigate to the folder where your .limewire folder is located. You can do this by typing:
cd documents and settings (press enter)
You will now see the C:\> is changed in C:\documents and settings>
now, type:
cd user (press enter)
C:\documents and settings\user> is what you see
again, type:
cmd delete (press enter)
You are now in the C:\documents and settings\user\delete> folder
Now, leave the command-prompt window open, so DO NOT minimize it, and press CTRL+ALT+DEL for your Windows Task Manager, go to processes and find the explorer.exe process, select this process by clicking once, then end te process. by pressing the end process button in your Tas manager. (Almost everything from your desktop will disapear now).
Now press ALT+TAB to go back to the command prompt.
If everything worked out well, it will still be in this folder: C:\Documents and settings\user\delete>
now press: del *.* (press enter) (there is a space between the "del and *)
You must confirm your action by pressing Y or N and confirm with enter. everything within the self-created delete folder will now be deleted, so make sure there was only the .limewire folder in it!
Now press ALT+TAB again. (You're now again in your Windows task manager, go to File>new task and type:
explorer.exe (confirm with enter)
Your Desktop will appear again.
(You can close the command-prompt now)
In windows, got to the "C:\Documents and settings\user" folder, check what's in the "delete" folder. It has to be empty now. If this is right you can delete the "delete" folder by right-clicking on it, choose delete.
Good luck! |
