Cool

Hello!

Maybe the folders you are trying to share is locked and not intended for sharing.

Look at the folder's symbol does it has a open hand ?

If not then it is locked for outside view.To un lock it go to the Explorer and then highlight the folder and right click it and select Properties and from the contextual menu that appears enable the share option and the folder will be displayed with a open hand and you can then select it in LimeWire preferences as a shared directory.

Notice!

Never share the
C:\
Or
C:\windows

You also have to think about the read/write rights that the folder/catalog has only allow read and not write.
