Seems I've Lost All My Songs...Great.

I think I have anyways...I'm trying to burn a few CD's, but can't seem to find where my songs are. I tried to click on a song my limewire library, then clicked explore, but it took me to an empty folder. I also tried to search for the songs through windows, but absolutely nothing came up. All the songs are in limewire, but I can't find them in any of my folders. I have Windows Vista, if that helps.
Also, if you post...don't use any computer, technical terms. Computers dont come naturally to me. :blink:

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.
