I tried both of these fixes below..nothing.
First, I found my user name in documents and setting, but there is no folder for limewire.
Secondly, when I launch LW, am not getting a tips pops up. The only a pop up I get is to upgrade to LW Pro, which I already have. So I have no idea where everyone is able to disable pop up once LW opens.

An running XP Media Center Edition.



Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire


Steps:

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

I have Windows XP

here are the steps that I took:

1: Go to Start Menu ( lower left corner)

2: Go to My Computer

3: Click on Local Disk C:

4: Click on folder - Documents and Settings

5: Click on you User Name (example: Chris)

6: Delete (.limewire) folder
