I've been working at this type of problem for awhile. When I look in the shared folder, the files aren't there. Even after I switched on hidden files, nothing appears.

If i try to move the files out of the limewire library, I get the error message that the files have been moved, and I have to reconfirm the location. When I do a broad spectrum search on *.mp3 'everywhere' in my computer, the files aren't found.

However, limewire still plays the files, so I made a playlist and tried to play that in itunes. When I did that, I found that all of the files were (remote). Specifically, when I looked up the file info, after the file name it said (remote).

What does this mean, and where might the files be being stored remotely?

Vista, trend micro antivirus, 1983 megs ram, 94 gigs free, wifi connection, LW ver 4.14.12...everything else is clear, test worked, etc, etc, etc. can anyone offer up any suggestions? I'm new to vista, so is there some search or something that I'm missing?
