Setting Up Sharing
OK, back to ScreamerNet and sharing the files it needs.
We know what ScreamerNet needs to be able to find.Now is the time to figure out where to
put these files.By default, LightWave stores most of its files in one folder,usually found on the
main hard drive in a folder called LightWave. If yours is different from this, don??™t worry.
Inside LightWave v9 622
Figure 15.23 The Browse for Folder panel lets
you point to a specific folder.

When I say ???most files,??? this is because Windows steps in here and interferes a little! If a
program is written to conform with Windows protocol, it stores its preference files in userspecific
folders. The idea is that many people using one machine can have their own preferences
and setups, and technically this is a good idea, but it can cause problems with
ScreamerNet if you??™re not sure which preference files LightWave is using. To avoid confusion,
either use one set of preference files or ???point??? LightWave to the right files when
it starts up??”more on this later.
The location of these preferences depends on which version of Windows you are using,
but it is either in C:\WinNT\Profiles\WhichUser or C:\Documents & Settings\WhichUser.
