(1) Your shared folders are not necessarily your LW dwnld folder unless you set your LW Dwnld folder to be also shared. Remember, LW can only dwnld to one folder. To answer your question directly: Go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Saving & press the Browse button. Direct it to your desktop & press the new folder. Name the folder. Then press open/add & then BOTH the Apply & OK buttons.

(2) To allow this folder to also be a shared folder so it appears in your LW Library window as a shared folder & other people can also dwnld from it, go back to LW's menu Tools-Options & Sharing. Press the Add button & direct it to your new dwnld folder. Press open/add & then BOTH Apply & OK buttons. Now go to your LW Library window & press the Refresh button. Now your new dwnld will appear in your library along with all your other shared folders.

The alternative to all of this is to add your present dwnld folder as a shared folder. Go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Saving to find the name, locations & path of your present LW dwnld folder. Write these details down somewhere. Now go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Sharing & Add this folder as in step (2) above. The last step here is to make a short-cut to your LW dwnld folder & move it to your desktop.

If you're using a mac & not windows, please write back & I'll explain how to do it for mac. It's actually a very similar process.
