There are some Quicken "settings" maintained in files in folders in Documents and Settings (or the Vista/Win 7 equivalent, I believe). -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

The Win 7 (which I'm using) equivalent of Docs and Settings is Users. The only Quicken folders/files I find under Users are located at: Users > MyName > My Documents > Quicken are the *.qdf file(s) and backup files.

If your Windows user can see *all* files (hidden, system, restricted, whatever), you should be able to find other Quicken files (though not all will have "Quicken" in their name). Some of the files I think you should find: Quicken.ini; QWREMIND.INI; QUSER.INI; WPR.DAT. In XP; some of these files would be in: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Intuit\Quicken And some in: \Documents and Settings\YourWindowsUserName\Application Data\Intuit\Quicken -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

Found the files you referenced "hiding" in: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\Config When I first looked I "over" looked Intuit folders. |
