Alright, folks, I finally tracked down the root cause of this issue. The problem I fixed for 2.7.6 solved one serious problem that was affecting 10.2 users. Today, however, I found the more serious problem that is the primary cause of these issues. It was a bug in the installer code that did, in fact, create a directory called "limewire.props" that it should not have created. I just fixed this issue in LimeWire 2.7.7, so 2.7.7 should fix this problem for everyone. The first time you run it, you will need to enter your preferences, but they should save fine after that.

Let me know if anyone has problems with it, and thanks for everyone's help. This also fixes the issue of settings not being saved across LimeWire installs (so it solves both the saving between sessions issue and the saving between installs issue).

Thanks again.
