Thanks a lot limewire. I took your advice and uploaded the new version and now my limewire library has disappeared. In the past you have never changed where you placed the files for seaching. So after I uploaded the latest version I could not locate any tracks of the new tracks that I had downloaded, unless I did it manually. I tried To follow some advice from other users but now it seems that everything has gone from the limewire library. Why have you Changed things and yet NOT explained what you have done and how to put things right? I am not a techy so I cannot find the new folder C:\Documentsandsettings\ray\shared. I have to manually go thru each individual track
