.limewire doesn't exist

[Corzama]

Why does the directory /.limewire/ not exist?
Its used for storing the skins, and idk what else.

LW works just fine without it, no other major issues I can tell.

Just how do I get this dir back? Windows won't let me "Create" the dir.

You'll have a .limewire preferences folder if you've used much older versions of LW in the past. If you've only used recent versions, you won't have one...the prefs folder will be in a different location.

Try looking for the preferences folder here (XP): C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\LimeWire. Application Data's hidden by default, so you'll need to show hidden files & folders in order to see it.
Control Panel > Folder Options > click on the View tab > check the radio button to ‘show hidden files and folders’ > apply > ok.

If you're a Vista user, try looking for your preferences folder in C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire
