From: George Del Monte on 25 Feb 2005 10:24 I have a simple question - but not knowing the answer bugs me. Any help? Whenever I backup Quicken 2004 to a directory elsewhere on the same hard drive, a Q3.dir file is always created on my desktop. Is this significant? Where should the Q3.dir file normally be created? Does it matter where the file is located? (I routinely copy the data files to another computer as backups to the backup.)
