[SOLVED] Picking up old transferred xp install
Hi.
Great program.
Fabs is picking up c:/documents and settings/ paths on a machine that has upgraded to Vista where all data is now under c:/users. How can I force this?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Picking up old transferred xp install
Hi,
that can be some symbolic links pointing to the right folders anyway.
Have you tried to backup something like "My documents" without changing anything with the path in the program and compare the "archive\Documents" folder's content with the one you have at "c:\users\UserName\Documents"
If you have the same thing, then there is no worry about that.

The symbolic link doesn't work. I could recreate it or point to the correct path manually but it doesn't pick up the windows mail path which I can't change.

Good news. I just do not understand why you had a wrong profile displayed when you were picking up data from the current system drive.
