Thanks for your input..people are rude everywhere..so don't let it get to you...just remember there's still lots of good to be found...!
As for the Limewire Bug...that's peculiar regarding the preference folders..
I thought that I had tried a complete retinstall w/ new folders and preferences..guess I didn't delete the old preference folders (ie.downloads)
I did give up and went to Frostwire...same thing w/ a different graphic theme...no probs there....If it goes wanky I'll reinstall Limewire pro...
Peace out and "dltmfgyd" (clue:1st d=don't..m= mother....last d=down)
