I use a Mac and you cannot run a programme like LW from another drive afaik. Windows I'm not sure about, but I'm sure your problem can be solved by installing LW on your main drive. It does not take up much space and you can still designate another drive as your download destination. I'm curious to know where your preference folder is located, as this is automatically located by Limewire in the correct position. If you have moved the folder manually, I suspect you will have this problem. Does this help?

a final thought .. the "other users" may well be downloading and using their own version of LW without your knowledge, and deleting it along with the preferences so that you don't find out. This would certainly cause what you are describing to happen.
