When I say Items I mean songs...

Yesterday things were fine. I built my shared files from 25 to 35 yesterday no problems.

Today I downloaded 1 song. watched it finish. Saw that "sharing number did not increase".

I looked in shared - not there I looked in incomplete - not there.
I decided I was nuts.

So I downloaded another song and the same thing happened.

I am using xp and windows media player 9 is installed.

The only thing I did differently between yesterday and today is that I opened up windows media 9 and I sent it searching in this shared folder so that it could go and get 3 songs so that I could put them on a playlist in it. In otherwords I added these 3 songs to my media library but never moved them from the shared folder where they still are now. and playable.

What did happen is that the icons for all my songs ( in limewire shared folder in windows explorer) do look like the stupid windows media icons instead of the green that they were before.

I don't like it that WMA took that over but still it should not cause our newly downloaded files to not show up in shared folders should it?

I checked and these downloads did not go into any other area of my hard drive either. It is like they downloaded and then dissappeared. Please dont tell me they were incomplete files. I know the difference and that is not what is happening here...... can anyone help?

P.S.. The 2 songs that disappeared where [Edit]...

So I decided to do a "computer search for files with this name....

and guess what? It found both of these in a file that is the "shared folder that I have in windows". Not the limewire shared folder.... but documents and settins/username/shared/

This is awful. I suspect the problem is related to "windows media player doing some sort of take over..."... but that is totally wierd and I don't know where to turn for help.

I want my songs that I download with limewire..... to stay in limewire...........in the shared folder..... and be available to everyone else in limewire that wants them......

Otherwise this defeats the very basic purpose of even having a limewire..... What is happening should be illegal... Is it a setting or somthing somewhere that I just have not seen?

Help me please please please.
