Question Limewire remembers corrupt prefs

This is weird but extremely painful.

Have an external firewire hard drive called "Big Fat Mac 7". I use it to store music files, so I set up the "Music" folder on that drive as my shared folder and as my save folder.

I quit Limewire, unmounted (trashed) the firewire hard drive, then turned off the drive (I don't leave it on all the time).

The next time I turned on the drive, it remounted as usual. I started Limewire, but now it lists that drive as "Big Fat Mac 7 1". Everything seems to work, EXCEPT when I download songs into that folder, they disappear! I do a Sherlock search but the file is not on my hard drive.

So, I uninstalled Limewire using the uninstall application. I trashed the Limewire folder, even did a search for any file with the text "limewire" in the title on any of my drives and trashed them, including OS 9 files.

When I reinstall Limewire, it continues to find only "Big Fat Mac 7 1" and continues to prevent me from downloading. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Brennan
