I've gone and deleted my music files from my limewire library and they have consequently disappeared from my Windows media player! Does anyone know if i can retrieve them from somewhere on my computer?

You'll need a file recovery utility such as norton. You can get free ones. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-discussion-topics/49851-deleting-files-limewire-library-don-t-file-recovery-advice.html

Here's 2 free ones Restoration (click on link), & also PC Inspector File Recovery (click on link). I've heard Restoration is a little better. But don't recover the files onto the same partition they were deleted from or else you will reduce chances of recovering the others.

Thanks heaps! I know i shouldn't have tried to mess with my computer it always wins! Btw I'm a fellow NZer so thanx.

No problems. The next version of LimeWire will instead send files to trash/recycle bin if you delete from the library. The LW beta does this now. I'm from oz.
