📝 Notes

JDownloader installs to %LOCALAPPDATA% by default (per-user), not Program Files.
All configuration, accounts, link lists, and plugins are stored in the install directory as JSON/XML files — not in the registry.
The HKCU path uses the unusual AppDataLow subtree, which is associated with low-integrity processes.
JDownloader does not register file associations.
