Lightroom 2.6 preference file location on Windows 7

I have just installed windows 7 on my laptop and want to copy my preference file from my desktop Vista machine over so I have the same setup. I located the preference file in vista under users/myname/appdata/roaming/adobe/lightroom as per the post on this.  However in my windows 7 installation I just have a user "computer admin" and if i click on that I don't see any AppData folder.  Suggestions gratefulyl received.

The correct location is:
\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
Make sure you turn on show all files as mentioned above:
From explorer:
ALT > Tools > Folder Options > View
CHECK > show hidden files and folders

  • Viewing file location in Windows explorer from within organizer. PE 10

    Does anyone know how to view a cataloged file location WITHIN  organizer Elements 10 by where the orgainzer opens up the file location in Windows Explorer (Not windows IE Explorer browser).  I know you can see the file path in the properties pane but I swear some how I clicked on a file once and Explorer opened up in organizer 10 showing the location in the file tree on the hard disk. I am using Widows 7 Home preminum with all updates.   Am I crazy?  Thanks.

      If you want to see the folder tree click the display button (near top right of Organizer) and switch to Folder Location View.

  • Hey Forum Moderator ... what happened to the link to Preference file location??

    There used to be link to a document describing the location of the Preferences files for various different versions of LR and various different operating systems.
    That link used to be right here on the main page of the Lightroom Forum, but it's gone now.
    Can we have it back?

    You mean the Overview page http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=overview
    I visit that page maybe once a month to remind myself where not to go for fear of getting lost.

  • Is there a temporary file location on Windows 7 for Illustrator CS6?

    I was working in Illustrator for a few hours this morning and was just about to save when the Program "quit running".  Is there an temporary file created automatically?  Where might this be located in Windows 7?

    That's bad luck.
    Unlike other programmes (e.g. InDesign) Illustrator currently doesn't have that kind of automatic backup / file recovery capability.
    It has been requested many times.

  • Mail cannot open hyperlink of file located in windows server 2003

    My macbook air has access to shared directory located in a windows server 2003 machine via smb mount. However, when I get an email containing a hyperlink of a file located in the shared directory, mail cannot open the link. Any ideas?

    You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

  • Preference File Location

    Now that I have spent much time getting my preferences customized, I would like to back them up to another location in case I have to reload. Where are these files located?

    Typically, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop (your version).

  • Indesign CS6 preference file location

    I am having trouble finding the InDesign CS6 preference file on my Mac. I don't have a library folder under my username but there is one for guest and macadmin. Is it hidden? How do I view this folder?
    Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/

    Thank you. I was able to delete the file however it has not fixed my issues with indesign.
    I can open InDesign on the guest account and everything loads fine. If I try to open it on my account I get the error "cannot open resource file" and my full preferences aren't loading. I am trying to get to InDesign>Preferences>Type and my full preferences are showing.

  • After connecting the Hard Drive to the airport extreme, where can I find the file location in Windows 7

    After connecting the Hard Drive to the airport extreme, where can I find the File Location (to access my files from my Hard drive)

    Hi,
    Try this select to check backup history:
    Select 
    r1.database_name, 
    r1.name, 
    (case r1.[type] when 'D' then 'Full database backup' when 'I' then 'Differential database' when 'L' then 'Transaction Log Backup' else r1.[type] end) as BackupType, 
    r3.physical_device_name, 
    r1.backup_start_date, 
    r1.backup_finish_date, 
    r1.backup_size, 
    r1.compressed_backup_size, 
    r2.is_compressed,
    r1.server_name, 
    r1.first_lsn, 
    r1.last_lsn 
    from msdb.dbo.backupset r1 
    inner join [msdb].[dbo].[backupmediaset] r2
    on r1.media_set_id = r2.media_set_id
    inner join [msdb].[dbo].[backupmediafamily] r3
    on r1.media_set_id = r3.media_set_id

  • Allow preference file location to be specified.

    I try to keep all my data on a different drive than my system. I back up the data drive regularly, but the system drive only occasionally.
    Lightroom just crashed and tossed my preferences in the irrecoverable bit-bucket while it was at it (or is there a way to recover them?). Unfortunately my backup is old since the location can not be changed and is on the system drive. Thus many of my preferences are gone...
    So, this feature request is two-fold:
    1. Allow user to specify location, so I could have it with the rest of my data that gets backed up. OR, just keep them with the rest of the settings/presets when "keep presets with catalog" is checked - either one would do.
    2. Have Lightroom backup presets and preferences whenever it backs up the catalog. i.e. redefine the "backup catalog" function to be "backup all critical lightroom data".
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Preferences are located
    OSX
    Username]/Library/Preferences folder
    Windows
    Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
    Most backup applications default to making a backup of the USER data folders, or you can specify the back up software to do so.
    Locating preferences elsewhere would mean it wouldn't be a standard location that any catalog could use and may not be found when installing / re installing LR. Not sure how a crash could actually delete preferences although they could be corrupted during a crash and may need to be re written. Having them in a different location wouldn't prevent that.
    Those using multiply catalogs could also end up with multiply preferences back ups, taken a different times and therefore causing some problems when restored, unless you are suggesting indivual catalog specific preferences which would seem to defeat the whole point of having preferences! If I used more than one catalog, each catalog would require separate plug ins, export presets and all the rest...a nightmare.

  • Tnsnames.ora file location in WIndows 7

    I just installed Oracle XE 10g on my PC running windows 7. I was told that the tnsnames.ora file was located in C:\XEClient\Network\Admin, however i see no such folder in my XE CLient folder.
    Any Ideas?

    As long as the oracle install has completed OK and set your environment, a cmd box tnsping should reveal the location the %ORACLE_HOME% is using for client setup
    Hit Start/Run and type in cmd (does that work in Win7? Or is it the the PowerShell icon) to get to a command line prompt:
    $ tnsping anyname
    TNS Ping Utility ...
    Used parameter files:
    C:\oraclexe\...\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
    ...That network\admin folder is the location for the tnsnames.ora file for your install-

  • Dreamweaver CS3 preference file location

    Dreamweaver CS3 was not able to be shut down on a Macintosh,
    and the computer was powered down.
    Now Dreamweaver does not have any of the site information in
    Manage Sites (the window is blank).
    There is a Time Machine backup (OS 10.5) we can restore, but
    where is the Manage Sites preference info stored? Or it could be
    the info in the Files palette we need to restore, I'm not sure
    (it's someone else's computer, who had about 15 sites configured
    through Dreamweaver).
