Question 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

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.
