Bill,

Please respond to the list so that others can see your message. This is good so 
that
(1) if we get a solution it will be searchable by others that have this problem 
in the future
(2) if we find a solution others will not be working to try to solve your 
problem when it is already solved, and
(3) most people on this list know a lot more than I do so you're much more 
likely to get a solution.

I don't know how to deal with this issue for Windows. You could search (using 
windows search) for files in your tex distribution (for example, search for 
.bib files) and put your BibTeX files there and hopefully that would be in the 
path. Or see below.

This should work. What do you mean that it won't let you do anything with your 
BibTeX folder? You need to add the individual .bib files. Also, they must have 
the .bib extension otherwise they will not be found in that window. If they do 
not have the extension, you can just rename the files to add the extension to 
them.

Does that work?

Also, what version of LyX are you using?
