hi, i'm new to limewire and was wondering if there is a way to eliminate adult material and then password protect it as the only way i can see is tools-options-filters-keywords-ignore adult, but it does'nt stop a curious 14yr old with better comp skills than me
so is there anyway to block this permanently ??

Not that I'm aware. It would be rather difficult, as there are many mistitled/mislabeled files.

I would suggest using the forum search fuction (upper right between f.a.q. and home) and search this issue/subject.
You will find lots of insightful suggestions and information.
