Vista tried to outsmart itself in dealing with folder permission problems. If a user tries to save a file to a location outside of their user directory, it will create a pseudo-directory somewhere else that only the running program will see. When that program runs, it will appear as if the file is in the expected location, but no other programs nor exploring from the desktop will see it.

If you're using Vista and want to see your files outside of LimeWire, you MUST make the save directory somewhere within your user directory. There'll be a warning about this in the next beta if you're using Vista and use a different directory, and we'll backport a 4.12 version with this warning also.

any way of correcting this problem
