PREFERENCE FOLDER FOR XP @ VISTA Which OS are you using? For XP the prefs folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\LimeWire (or) c:\documents and settings\username\limewire Application Data's hidden by default, so you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files & folders to be able to see it (control panel > folder options > view > check the radio button to show hidden files & folders > apply > ok). Vista users look here C:\Users\your \\username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire See the link below for how to show hidden files & folders & find the prefs folder in LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

Hello, What I did was what grandpa said in his posts and it finally worked. I worked on it off and on for two months before I got lime wire to work. But it has been well worth it. In the help section of windows look up hidden folder and it will talk you through how to find them. I had to deleate any folder that said limewire on it. There was only one in my case. Good luck. |

Know this thread is a bit old now but this isn't working for me and it's good to know how to delete preferences. Just FYI OS: Vista LIMEWIRE VERSION: 5 My current problem is with it freezing and obviously this is one of the first suggested solutions. I've followed all instructions, made hidden files viewable (and I know it's worked cos I can view other hidden files), gone to appdata/roaming/limewire. When I get there though there is no preference folder. I have these folders: .AppSpecialShare browser certificate mozilla-profile promotion themes xml I then have just a bunch of other files. Are these the ones I delete perhaps? A few of them are Cache files I've seen. If you need info of what files are there let me know but I'm not gonna type it up unless you need it cos it's quite long . Thanks very much, hopefully I can get some help on this. |

about LW connection problems hi, jt1002, i just review Grandpa's advice about LW connection problems. It still works. I just follow Grandpa's great directions to delete the LW preference folder, then LW connects ok. Turleyt |

Do you mean me? DevilShroom. This is really weird I posted about an hour ago, got an email and it said I had a reply, from your username, came here and my post has vanished and you've replied refering to someone called jt1002. So odd lol. If you were refering to me I've followed ALL the directions in this thread, still I can't see a preferences folder. So there is clearly a different problem here. If you're not refering to me then never mind lol. Just to re-alliterate my problem since my post is now missing. OS: Vista LIMEWIRE: Verion 5 I follow all directions, able to view hidden folders. Go to appdata/roaming/limewire. There is no preferences folder here though. These are the folders I have: .AppSpecialShare browser certificate mozilla-profile promotion themes xml Files I have are: createtimes.cache downloads.dat fileurns.bak fileurns.cache filters.props installation.props library.dat library5.dat limewire.props mojito.props questions.props responses.cache simpp.xml document spam.dat tables.props ttdata.cache ttrees.cache ttroot.cache version.xml document versions.props So yes that's all there is under *Username*/Appdata/roaming/limewire |
