Hi,
Whenever i downloaded something from Limewire, it will also appeared in my C drive which is shared in my company network. Is there any way to disable it? I do not want to share with my company network. Is there any way not to let the administrator know that I am using Limwire to download stuffs?

If you have an IT department, or a reasonably sharp admin, they will be able to see your activity. In many companie it is a fireable offense, do you want to play bet your job?

Make sure that the folder that the downloads are getting saved into is not shared on the network.
Keep in mind that the administrator has ways of knowing if you are using limewire or not because of the increased internet traffic, the port the downloads are coming in, and if they have to do any maintenance to your computer they will see the program, they can also find the program by searching for executable programs on your computer or using a software audit program to search the network for programs and executable files, so the bottom line is YOU WILL GET CAUGHT. i work in IT and it does not matter how well that the program is hidden it can be traced and will you get into trouble for it.

The best way to do this is to create a new folder on you C drive and call it Live-Wire. Then Link Lime-Wire download folder there. That way you are only sharing you files that you have on that folder. also make sure you turn off the sharing option on lime-wire settings.

Look around in the Limewire options and you can select which directory it downloads to.
