Hi Hellraiser121,

You have to make the change in windows not limewire.

Open the folder with your files in it. Now right click a file and click on Properties > then click on "Change" > choose VLC from the list > click OK > Apply > OK.

Do that for each file type you want to change. I don't think you can launch files from limewire using VLC. You'll have to launch them from their windows folder, or maybe it's just previewing. I'm not sure right off hand.

I know, and i've done that :P Yeah my Default File type for Videos ect is using VLC media player already. I'm unable to preview through VLC or launch fully downloaded files either.

If anyone else can shed some light on this problem i would be most greatful.

You'll only be able to launch & preview within LW using VLC if you're using one of the LW Beta versions 4.13.0 & onwards. Latest Beta is 4.13.10.

If you're using a stable release, you'll have to preview & launch from your incomplete & saved folders outside of LW. It's no drama.
To preview go to LW's library, click on Incomplete Files. Highlight the file & click Explore. Your incomplete folder will open, preview from there.

Same deal for launching, except that you'll go to Saved Files within the LW library then click Explore etc.
