option to remove 'getting started' screen when limewire starts

Sure
There should be a little box you can untick in the tip box that says
"Show Tips at Startup". Untick that box and you won't see the tips.

You can set popups to the default setting by going to
Tools>Options>View>Popups, and reset them from there.

Hope This Helps

GETTING STARTED
To start using LimeWire, find the text field on the left, type in what you are looking for and click the "Search" button. If you are looking for only one type of content (music, video, etc...), you can narrow your search results by using the buttons above the text field.

(I Did, by the way, follow your advice and checked the box, but this still comes up)

Am I missing something?

Sorry if I misunderstood your instructions...
