How do I stop LW from automatically starting when I start my comp?
 
Hello! I'm a n00b to Limewire and I seem to have encountered an annoying problem already. :eek:
It seems that whenever I start up my computer (pc) LW opens up without me even coming near it. Can I assume it has grown a liking towards me? I would only be so fortunate. </sarcasm>

Anyhow, I didn't have this problem before today. I already went to Tools> Options> Advanced> System Startup and made sure the little box was unchecked. But for some reason it continues to start up on it's own every time. Am I missing an extra something here?? :confused:

I'd appreciate a lil' insight on this issue, please.

If it's only starting up automatically once (ie when you first start your computer), try deleting the preferences folder when LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 here
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within tools > options. You'll have to go back & reset things afterwards.

If your LW starts up automatically all the time (ie won't stay closed), it's a virus
