I'm not a main windows user, but i thought you click the - button to minimise it. And press X to close it.

well I usually pressed the x button and Limewire used to minimize to tray but it just left doing that, the - button still minimizes Limewire but i want to know how to minimize it to a small icon next to the clock (that's the systray)

I don't know, is that related to your shutdown settings? LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>System Tray

It worked for me when I pressed the X button. Mine was already set to minimise

If all else fails, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) But make a note of important settings. Next time you start LW, you'll need to reset your options.

I've just thought about it. Go and right click on your system tray (not pointing at anything special) then go to properties and then "Customize". Check whether LW is hiding when inactive (you need to have LW open to do so).
That could be the reason why you don't see it, though it might still be active working.
