Ok. Where the directory is supposed to be for skins. I cannot find it on my xp. It's no where to be found. my hidden files are viewable now and still can't find it. what do i do? i have limmewire 4.14.10

Make sure that you're looking in the right place
For versions like yours, the themes folder should be in C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\LimeWire\themes.

Which folder can't you find - App Data, LimeWire or themes?

hmm, thanks. that worked...not sure why it didn't before.. but thanks!
