how to 'tick' files manually?
 

hi! when i come across already downloaded files in my search,i find a tick mark against them.now can i do something such that whenever i come across a particular file(or many files) in my search,i shud find them 'ticked',even though i have not downloaded them?i mean 2 ask,just as i can mark messages as 'flagged' in my yahoo mail,can i check some files such that they appear to be ticked in my search?

No, not that I know of.......besides, why should you want to do so.....:confused: ;) :cool:

Perhaps he's looking for a spam filter or something to protect from worms.

i want it as i hav reinstalled my OS again,and the newly installed limewire does'nt recognise which files were already downloaded and which are new ones(bcos the already downloaded files usually have a tick mark against them in the search).

If you have renamed the files atall, or if the files you are seeing in search are very slightly different in any way, they will not show up with a tick. There is no way afaik of ticking them manually.

Well, first of all you have to have those files again in your shared folder (LW>Tools>Option>Shared........and don't forget to press "Apply";) )
And then, of course, the point Hobo mentioned. If you've changed even only a dot of the original file name, then they won't appear as "ticked" (i.e. as already downloaded.)
