The program is deleting my NZB watch folder after a job completes.  Why would it do this?

version .45RC2
Windows 2003 Server

Folders are never deleted.
Have you combined any of the folders?
What's your folder layout?

It has gotten deleted a number of times.  It also deletes my log directory.  Here is most of my INI file (with the secure stuff removed)

Not sure of the issue, but I would recommend changing your incomplete dir to something other than
download_dir = C:\mnt
try
download_dir = C:\mnt\incomplete

That's the problem.

The download folder is c:\mnt, which contains other folders.
This absolutely a problem, since all residual empty folders are removed at the end of each download.
The download folder should be a separate folder (like c:\mnt\incomplete).

I understand the confusion, we really shouldn't be calling it the download folder, but it has
been called that since the earliest releases.
