to start over by requesting a new certificate from the ARRL

folder C:\Program Files\LOTW\Trusted QSL and double-click the application

folder C:\Program Files\LOTW\Certificates will contain
* the file theCallsign.tq6 -- contains the actual certificate, but in a
form that cannot be moved to another folder or saved on an archival storage
device
* the file theCallsign.tq12 -- contains the certificate in a form that
can be moved, backed-up, and recovered; you can use the tQSL
Certificates application to extract YourCallsign.tq6 from YourCallsign.tq12 if
needed
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
