If you click on revert to defaults, it's like starting over again. You'll have to reset any preferences you had set in options.

under shared extensions, many different letters of the alphabet show up there. i don't know what most of them mean, but do i just leave what seems to be in there by default? i haven't clicked on the "use defaults" button, just in case i mess it all up, but i didn't remove any of the items there either.

I haven't changed any of them. I also don't know what most of them mean. You could Google each one to find out. But if there are any file types that you didn't want to share you could filter them by removing the file extension from the list. I control mine by only sharing what I've downloaded off of LW.
Another resource to check out is the limewire
User Guide. It will be able to answer some of your questions. There's also an
FAQ.

the last section: should the "share finished downloads" box be checked off? this sounds like it will share more than what is in my shared folder.

I would untick it if you want better control. More on that in the user guide here:

As far as I know, playlists are just links to where the files are stored on your pc. So if you make a playlist then delete the songs out of the library, when you go to play the songs there will be no songs for the playlist to link to.
Also if you delete a song from within the LW library the songs don't go to the recycle bin they are deleted from your pc.
It's probably a good idea to copy and paste the files in your shared folder to another folder outside of limewire.
Many people have posted that they accidently deleted their whole library.
