Anyhow, try this for finding the preferences folder...

Win 7: Click on the start button. Now type %appdata% into the text field. Hit the 'enter' button. Do you see a folder named LimeWire listed? If so, that's your preferences folder.

Win XP: Click on Start > Run > Type %appdata% into the text field. Hit the 'enter' button. Do you see a folder named LimeWire listed? If so, that's your preferences folder.
