Red Names in the Library??????

i dont know if this has been posted before or often or whatever but im new to this site and dont really know how to use it so bear with me if you've read this a million times-

when i go to the library in LW, i have some folders with music sorted my artist and i just downloaded some new music by a diff artist and a few random stuff. so i went into my folder that my downloads go into and made 2 new folders.. and then put my newly completed downloads in them. but when i went back into Limewire the folders were in red text and i couldnt play what was i them..:confused: i dont know why.. the folders are in the folder where my misic downloads too, and i didnt edit any settings.. any suggestions of whats happening:confused: :( ?

Press the Refresh button in the LW Library & wait for LW to finish re-accounting for all the files in its shares. If you change a file's name or location, then LW will not know where it is & give a red title warning.

Also if you stop sharing files they will turn red. So those files are probably red because LW didn't know about them when it was last opened or details about them has changed since!!!

Refreshing Library

Thanks for that. I have only been using Limewire for two days, but I have learned alot from watching these forums. I try to be as just as possible, giving what I get and such, but I also like some order in my files, so when I noted that someone tried to download from me a file I had moved and the message was "File not found" I figured I had to look. I think that should have been in the manual though. Got pretty far without, got started downloading, uploading and such, but printed it, and there were big holes in it.

I am rambling on, as I have a tendency to do. All I really wanted to say was:

THANK YOU!:Smilywais:
