download to windows xp
 

in windows xp (home version) there is "My Music" along with "My Docs", "My Pics" and "My Computer". What I would like to do is download directly into My Music. I went into Tools and chose the saved file path C:\My Music, but the downloaded music goes into library. Can someone help me?

The library is not a location. It is just a browser within LimeWire. It should point to your download location (and any other folders that you've chosen to share).

If you have set Tools|options|Saving|directory to C:\My Music then that should be where your downloaded files are going. Have you checked that directory?

Thank you for the clarification in re to the library and I have checked My Music and the limewire files are not there.

Have you looked in Program Files\LimeWire\... and found the shared folder there? Are you files in it?

Have you searched your entire computer for a file you know you have downloaded?

[open up windows explorer, click on my computer, press F3, type in the name of the file you are looking for (or part thereof), press return]

If you find the file, where is it?

Since the file shows up in the library it *is* somewhere on your computer.

Thank you again. Going thru Explorer it came up in C:\Music. However when I go from Start to My Music it is not shown. That is how I would like to access the file/music. Can you help in that regard?

I can access the lime wire files fro windows media player mmy music but i cannot access from start my music. why not?
