LW is Default bittorrent downloader - I Don't Want This But Options Won't Change It!
 
Since upgrading lime wire has taken over as the ddefault bittorrent downloader. I do not want Limewire to be my default bittorrent downloader. I have tried to change the options under bittorrent-advanced- UNTICK-"let Limewire manange my bittorrent settings".
, but this has not helped. Can you please help me to undo this change otherwise Ill have to delete the programme altogether.
Many thanks
E :)

You just need to go to the folder options for any folder and you can access the settings from there. Here's the long way around:

(This is for XP)Go to Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Folder Options > File Types, in the window will be a list of file types, Scroll down the list till you find Torrent(TORR). Hi-lite it and go below the window where it says "Opens With" and click "Change". Find the program you want in the list. hi-lite it and click ok. That should be it. Try d/loading something and see if it works.

Right-click the torrent file & choose open with & select the program & tick the option to always open with. I don't use Vista but that option should not have changed.
