cuz i installed mytube and now i need to change its setting to where to save the videos.

not really a noobish question, as it does raise questions over how apps uninstall themselves.......

it probably removes the app but leaves the settings file? - might be worth emailing the author - or posting a bug report for mytube? :D

run mytube from the xterm
its a pain but its well worth it

how do u do it?

I think that the setting file is:
/home/user/.mytuberc

if you delete it probably the app will create a new one.
(in order to do that you'll have to use the terminal, if you've never done it or you don't have linux experience, better aid google for that).
