The files are still there, it's a vista thing.

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.
