(But I also said "If things aren't right leave them there then paste the two files you saved at the beginning the HosterInfo.ini and the songs mdb back and you should be back to how it is at the moment.)
If that HosterInfo.ini file gets corrupted you lose that list.

If you still have that copy of how it was before you deleted it's contents then you can paste that back in the Hoster folder then restart Hoster and it should replace that list in the list of folders. If it doesn't then it may have got corrupted.

Or alternately forget about it seeing as it's working OK and just Add the folders manually using the Add folders button.
It will work alright as it is until you want to rebuild the database.
It was noted that it sometimes disappeared in 5.04-05 versions and think it is fixed in the next upgrade.
Once again, I thank you. I'll leave as is for now since it is working.
