How do I save Limewire files
 

How do I save the files from my limewire folder to a new file folder in " my files" Reason I want to do this is that I don't want to open lime wire when ever I want to view my stuf.

Hi Your saved files are not actually saved in Limewire. They should be saved in your default save folder, and to check where this is, go to Limewire options or preferences > saving > save folder, and you will see it's location. Got to preferences > Player and dissable Limewire player. Now you can select what player(s) you want to make your default player(s). Let us know if you have a problem doing that.

Also in preferences > saving, you can specify different save locations for differnt types of files.

I hope this helps,,, and thanks for posting a simple and ordinary question. You have saved me from insanity:):):)

I tried the above and almost F'ed everthing-up. I am now back were I started. I still can't save a file in my limewire folder to a new folder. Any other suggestions

Hi Edge-Net,
This might be long-winded but it works. I don't move files around, so don't know the quick & easy ways!!

Go to 'My Music' or wherever you want to open your new folder. Ckick on 'Make New Folder'. Re-name it to what you want. Now open this new folder. Right click > explore.
Find where your downloads are (Hobo gave you instructions) & open the folder with your downloads in it.
Right click on the file you want to copy into your new folder.
Select 'copy'.

Now, just open your new folder > right click > paste.
Your file is in your new folder and also still in it's original place.

Sorry if this is confusing & like I said, there's probably a shortcut for all these steps but I don't know it:D


*Or, you could just make a shortcut to your saved folder & send it to your desktop. That's what I've done & I don't have to open LW to play my stuff.
