Empty Download Folder?
 

Hi,
I've been using limewire for quite some time and love it, Vista on the other hand... Anyway after "upgrading" to vista and installing limewire, i began noticing that the location the files were told to download to was empty. I believe it was just the default location Program Files/limewire/music. It didnt matter to much at the moment because for some reason my windows media player was able to find the files i downloaded. (And just for information purposes i have the player searching for media files in my entire user folder.)

Now that i have an ipod i wanted to add the downloaded files which can only be done through iTunes but, the files cannot be added to the library. I tried to drag directly from LW library to iTunes and nothing happened. Then i tried dragging to my desktop from LW and the error msg "This file is no longer located in C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Music." So I started looking through LW to find where files were being downloaded, and it is directed to the above folder. I did a search of my computer and none of the downloaded files could be found. So after searching through these forums i found out that vista creates the pseudo folder and wondered if that location could be found so i dont have to spend an entire week downloading them all over again.

Update: I did an advanced search and included all non-indexed/hidden/system files and it found the virtual storage folder. After a few minutes of messing around i was able to get into the folder, move the files to the new location within in my user folder and all is well:D
