These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Files that won't delete. I have a few files on my computer that won't delete. I've read a few threads about this subject, but so far my problem seems to have a few unique qualitys about it. First I just selected one of said files and hit shift+delete, but nothing happened. No response, no eror mesage, nothing. I tried to drag the files to the recycle bin and, again, nothing happened. so then I right clicked it and the menu that poped up only had preveiw, edit, print, open with and send to. So I tried the open with and it's completly empty. The send to option was also unresponsive. Then I tried looking at the properties by selectin the file and using the file buton on the tool bar, and every feild was empty. I've restarted my PC, used Unlocker, anti virus, anti spyware programs, I've even tried to delete them in safe mode. Still nothing.  So.....now what???

 Madrox I downloaded a file like this recently, in fact last Saturday, I eventually deleted it by highlighting the file in LWs library and pressing the delete button at the bottom of the screen. Worked like a charm. UK Bob |

 Undeletable files/folders I haven't downloaded any such files/folders, but I have a few of them anyway. One such folder is listed as "xerox" in my Program Files. It contains nothing but a directory called nvwia which is empty. When trying to delete it, it says the file nvwia is in use by another user or program and to delete it, close that program/log off that user. This is a standing problem that has been with this computer since I got it second-hand from my mom's boyfriend. It was his company's server. Sorry for posting it with this forum, but this is the first ever I have seen on the problem. The machine is a Compaq (I know, HP, now) Proliant ML370 G2 WinXP Pro SP2 P3 1.266 GHz 1536 MB RAM 4 RAID-discs (total 200+ GB) HP NC3163 Fast Ethernet NIC 10/100 Mb |

| restart your computer, and as soon as you pass POST (Power On Self Test) and BEFORE you start the boot sequence into your os, start hitting F8 on your keyboard. it might take a few tries before you get it right. a menu will pop up giving you various options, choose safe mode without networking (for security reasons)...when you now get into your OS things will look weird, don't worry about that...then do your deletion and clearing of your trash can... reboot, and things should be back to normal as far as what you visually see, and the files will have been deleted |

| Files that won't delete I use XP and the only way I was able to get the files that wouldn't delete off was: 1. Move everything else (other than sub-directories) out of that folder. 2. Reboot in safe mode WITH COMMAND PROMPT. 3. Get to that directory using command line and then type "delete *.*" and hit enter. 4. Confirm the deletion by pressing "Y" and the files will be deleted. 5. Type EXIT to go back to windows. 6. If computer doesn't shut down or restart turn off with power button. Jason |
