I follow you up until where the AppData file is supposed to appear. All mine shows is the Saved, Shared and Incomplete.

are you looking for the Preference folder if so:-

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

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.

Default 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.

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

The Preference Folder is actually the Limewire Folder (Rpt) Limewire Folder

This worked like a charm

p.s. If you want to keep your skins then back those up first and move them back to the new folder LW creates
