I'm going to have to study LimeWire a little more closely. It appears that there
can be more than one personal settings folder I have to be aware of in order to
deploy the list reliably. My ".limewire" folder dates back to the first time I
installed and used LimeWire and newer versions apparently accepted it.
…Or is it the other way around, and .limewire is the newer location?

It also appears that a lot of people on Windows are going to have difficulties
installing the list on their own because the "Application Data" folder is usually
hidden from view because of Windows default settings. Whether browsing for
the folder or searching for it, Windows hides it because it's hidden attribute is set.

I wonder If I can convince Sam to load it from somewhere more accessible,
like the program folder instead… Naah! I'll cobble together an installer instead
with the help of my buddies at TechNutopia. We've been thinking of cooking
up a new version of BearDiag to help people with LimeWire problems anyway.
