Can't save files (and I have looked)

Hello there,

Trudged thru a load of search results and can't quite find what I'm lookin 4.

I use WinXP and LW 4.2.6

B4 I had WinXP I used WinME, I also had an older version of LW. I had no probs saving to shared folder.

My folder for sharing is D:\documents and settings\lindy\shared

When I try to save this is what I get.

SAVE PLAYLIST AS:
Look in:-................Limewire 4.2.6 (this is a drop down box)

(then in box underneath, root and shared)

When I try to save it to the folder D;\documents and settings etc it doesn't work cos as soon as I delete from library they go from shared folder.

I can keep the downloads by copy 'n' pasting or drag 'n' droppin to another folder but would like to know how to keep them in the shared folder so I can, well, um share.

Plz help coz I have sooo tried very hard to solve the problem myself.
(Havin said that the ansa is probably staring me in the face, but I'm a bit thick -maybe a lot thick- when it comes to computers)

Thanks loads, Lindy:confused:

Hello again,

methinks I'm in the wrong place and haven't a clue how I got there. Whilst looking to see my post it said it was in mac support. Don't think I want to be there (understatement or what??)

I couldn't find how to do new thread so did one after looking at a result about saving or sharing files.

Sorry:rolleyes: DOH!!

Why would you be deleting files from the library? Your shared folder is also the name for the LW downld folder. In the LW Library window it has a quick name (not one you gave it) called Saved Files. Click onto this folder & press the Explore button & the folder will open up for you. You can move your files from there to wherever you want to such as a folder you wish to share.

Hope this answers your question. :)

Thankyou, you sweety xx

Hi there Lordy,

I, er, well, I was just testing to see if you were taking notice...lol... :D (like you believe that..............HAH!!!)

THANKYOU VERY MUCH for that. Like I said I'm not too clever when it comes to computers but I have managed to do what you said and I am now sharing files Yippee.

Thanks again. Lindy x :)
