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. |

 Close Windows Media Player / Real Player (or any other media playing programs), your 'Shared' folder, Recycle Bin, anything that might be using the file, and delete it from LimeWire by going to the 'Library' tab and then you can find it and delete it completely from your hard drive (make sure to remember the file name before you go to find it in the Library). |

| Removing songs from LimeWire I have the same problem, when I try to delete song from my Library, it keeps telling me being used by another program. I have checked and have no other programs running. I did the Control, alt, delete and there is nothing running. Still cannot delete song from Library. Any help would be great. Thanks Lindalee |

| The files may be being uploaded by another user. For future versions, we will kill any associated uploads before attempting to delete the file -- but for now, go to the Monitor tab and manually kill the uploads before deleting the file. |

| pixxipink19, Lindalee If you have shut down the media players as Un*registered suggested you should then also shut down Limewire and then go to the directory where the files are stored and manually delete them. Norm |

 Items that won't delete/reappear OK, this seems to be quite a common problem and several posts have been made on the matter and all seem to be viewed quite a few times. I have a slightly different version of the problem: files that delete but reappear at the next startup of my computer. I have Norton Anti-Virus and have done several scans without positive results. I also have used SpyBot but nothing new has appeared. I have also begun to notice that whenever I do a search, a file of that name appears and it is always an exe. This happens even if the file I look for is 'wigglyquerdo'! It seems clear someone or something is targeting my computer/searches. I guess in the past I have done searches and, not being careful, thought I have found what I am looking for and started downloading an exe. Can someone (preferably from LimeWire!) suggest what to do? Can I also suggest that LimeWire highlight exe or other such files in RED so that people can be very cautious of downloading them? |

| It's not just you getting the exe files in your searches. It's been discussed on this forum before. I suggest yo go to your filters (LW menu-Tools-Options-Filters / for MacOS: LW Prefs/Filters) & enter the keyword .exe & press Apply. This should eradicate these unwanted items from your search results. There's a no. of threads about related subjects, one is : Quality of Content on the Network: (the 6th post on the page) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&pagenumber=12 & see the adjoining link. I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that these items are autoreleased (so to speak) by certain parties that detect searches along the Gnutella network. They will be related to the article in the above link. Files like you mentioned that mysteriously reappear, definitely sound like spyware/viruses. Perhaps a pc person on this forum can give you a decent answer about how to rid of them. In the meantime see: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=26605 http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=26903 |

| FedUpwithThis, Lord Of The Rings gave you very good advice on executable files. Unless you are looking for them filter them out. Everyone experiences it. As to files showing up after you delete them you might make sure files are deleted from both the Limewire incomplete folder and the download cue. If you don't Limewire will start downloading files from the download cue automatically when you restart. If it completes them they will be moved to your download folder. It it doesn't they will show up in your incomplete folder. Norm |

| About the problem of getting the message that the file is in use ... have you LAUNCHED it to preview it as it was downloading? If you have did you STOP or PAUSE it? If you PAUSED it even tho you killed the download it is still "in use". I went thru this and almost tore what little hair I had left. I tried deleting it from the Command Prompt and got the same message. THEN I noticed that the file giving me this problem was one I had LAUNCHED using the LIMEWIRE player. After rebooting it will delete. I began using WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER as my preview program. When you [X] out of WMP you can then delete the file with no problem |

| cannot delete song, tried everything Thanks Norm, but I have made sure to delete both at the download prompt as well as in the incomplete files. I keep expecting the next time I get NAV updates for Norton to find the bugger that is doing this but it still hasn't! |
