Another tidbit... Whenever a new shortcut is created for the desktop, the icon shows up in the limewire shared folder instead of the Desktop folder in Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data folder. I can, however, move the shortcut icon from the limewire shared folder to the Desktop folder without any problems.

Is there something I can "re-wire" to make the system stop moving the shortcuts to the limewire shared folder and move them instead to the proper Desktop folder? Maybe that will solve the problem.
