    My aunt called me an ask me to clean up her computer!! Her daughter has installed limewire and downloaded a bunch of songs...illegally I might say, and my aunt has tried to get her to stop doing this and get rid of it and she won't, so...it is my calling to rectify everything!!

    Being that I am not the least bit firmiliar with limewire, and how it sets up on your system, and where it stores the files/songs, what the file extensions are that it uses, etc., etc., I was hoping maybe someone here might be able to tell me what it is, and where it is that I'm to be looking for to delete, etc.!!

    I could most definately figure it out myself just by playing around for awhile, but I figured someone around here has had to deal with this before, and might be ablr to direct me in the necessary direction!!

    Thanks, ahead of time!!
