under the limewire toolbar where it says " ? Name Type Size Path" this is the toolbar under limewire library. under the "?" it typically shows a page with green lettering that says mp3 file for mp3 files. However now they all changed to windows media file icons that is the arrow surroned by the muticolored circle. How do i change this icon back to what it should be? i feel like someone is tampering with my limewire

Sounds like a different player has become the 'default' for opening that type of file. You did not say which program normally opens those files. Setting default audio program

limewire normally opens them, i did not try to change anything.
