folder for downloaded files
 

i recently upgraded limewire cos there was something wrong with my old one. Anyway, i dl the new one, and now when the songs go into the folder allocated for them, theres all limewire realted files in there with them that i cannot delete. can you help me move them to another file, can i delete them properly etc??

Go to Limewire's options or preferences >saving> and see what foldr is designsted as your folder. It would help us if you could tell us which folder this is. When you say there are limewire files in there, could you possibly mean your Limewire preference files?

There has been talk of the preference folder in the latest version being in a different place, and I'm wondering if this has happened to you.

As far as your downloads are concerned I would create a new folder and alter your preferences>saving to this new folder. and manually move previous downloads into the new folder.

This all may of course have to do with what was wrong with your old version, so Please tell us exactly what the problem was.

Also please tell us if you have up to date virus and anti spyware software, and have checked your machine.

I have up to date Norton antivirus and **** like that, so that's cool. I dunno what happened with the old one, all i know was i tried to get it on and it was strange like. i can't memba what happened, and then i tried it again and it said i should reinstall limewire. Cant i just move them files into the .limewire file set up on my computer?

Check If I have this correct. Do you do have your preference files in your download folder as well as your downloads? ... please tell me exactly which files you do have in your download folder apart from downloads.

Your .limewire (ie Preferences) folder should be in in "C:\My Documents"
And I would like you to check if you do have anything there.

In short please tell me where your .limewire preference folder is.

What I think you are going to have to do is move all your downloads into your newly created folder. and then delete your preference folder with Limewire completely closed.

The problem here is we need to check exactly where your preferences are, as, like I said befor the preferences have gone missing recently on occasions:)

When your preferences have been deleted, and you restart Limewire it should create a new preference folder and you will have to reset.

I shall check if I can find where some of the preference folders have finnished up and return shortly.

As I use a mac, I don't have this problem, but I shall check some old posts. back soon

If you cannot find any preference folder, enable your computer to show hidden files as there is a small possibility that the fiolder may be hidden.

thanks, but i've figured it out already. The problem was Limewire downloaded into my shared file, which was also the file where my songs were being saved. I simply uninstalled and reinstalled limewire and moved it to a different location, but kept my songs in the same folder. Thanks for your help.
