Limewire question

[Jiglo]

Is it possible to change the settings in Limewire so that it doesn't start up as the pc boots up?

It gets a bit annoying having to keep closing it down and slows some of the other software down when running

Theres an option for it not to load at startup in options/prefs

i took it off me pc alltogether!!

apparently it was that blighter that fecked up my pc

There is but get rid of it altogether is your best bet and use soulseek and the torrents for all downloading

also check your startup folder mate and delete any shortcuts you may have to it in there


cheers

If I disable the 'connect at startup' feature, it still loads the programme.....it just doesn't connect to the internet (which is pretty much what happens now thanks to my firewall).

Nobody shares on SLSK, so Limewire works far better for me and i'm happy overall with it apart from the startup feature - which I can't seem to disable

go to start.....then run

type in msconfig & hit enter

go to startup tab...find the entry for limewire and uncheck the box

job done

Cheers for mate, that also allowed me to switch off the office software at startup too

[johns_ar]

probs be a multitude of other shit that doesnt need to load at startup too

adobe, java, nero, printer stuff etc

I have limewire on my laptop and i had bearshare but got rid of that, i got more viruses than i knew existed and when i checked out all the virus names on line and the capability of each trojan horse/worm it got me so stressed out mate i ended up with a bloody virus myself !! (i got rid of bear share) i know its not a very nice thing to say but don't allow the sharing cos they can get in to your private folders and any tune u download do an anti virus scan on it first before u open it cos it knackered my laptop i couldn't even switch it on and had to get it rebuilt which meant i lost all the tunes i down loaded (go on on microsoft.com website they will give u a free live pc scan that showed loads of viruses my other anti virus software never picked up if u get stuck feel free to ask.
