I don't know how obvious it is, but the folder is %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files, which is normally: C:\Users\(user-name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files Any reasonable backup scheme is going to back up the user folder, so it would be included in that. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
