I'll let you know how it goes once I restart the computer. I couldn't delete the .limewire preferences folder. In fact, there were a few very stubborn Limewire files that I couldn't remove, not even with a removal (Unlocker) tool that I have for removing them. The tool claims it will remove them upon restart, but I am scanning with Ad-Aware right now, and I've already found more than 100 errors!!! So, I will have to wait until this finishes. This is a bit scary. I've never had such a gargantuan number of errors. And that's just on the old hard drive...
