Answer» My Limewire icon is always in the start-up tray at the bottom right corner of my MONITOR. Left or right clicking on my mouse has no result. I uninstalled Limewire but the icon is still in the start-up tray. Cntrl, Alt, Del shows nothing is running & I went to Start, Run, Msconfig, Start-up to KEEP it from starting when I start but it doesn't show Limewire on the start-up.Everything I try to do with reinstalling Limewire fails because it sees the program running & says to close it before installing but I can't. Please help! Thanksunfortunately Limewire also install all sorts of software with it which also must be removed, I am sorry it is heavy going but it works:- OPEN the LimeWire folder. Open the folder UninstallerData. Double click the Uninstall LimeWire icon (or something similar). Follow the on screen prompts to uninstall the program. Go to C:\Program Files and delete the LimeWire folder.
Set a System Restore Point, to prevent trouble if you make a mistake. Go to Start, Run, type regedit in the box, and hit Enter. At the top of the Registry Editor window, click on File, and then Export. In the Export range panel (at the bottom), click All, give the file a name, and then Save your registry as a backup to a location where you will be able to locate it easily if necessary.
Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. If you find the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run\limeshop, delete it and reboot the machine immediately.

That should do it!
