My laptop died and I had to buy a new one. I can still access my old files from the bare hard drive where does the exchange 2 save all my finds, settings and data? So i can bring over to this laptop. Any help would be wonderful
The box to the right of where the path shows, is a search box. I don't know what you can do on your old computer, but if you can do a search for *.mlf, those files should be shown in their present location.......Sorry my first idea didn't work......I'll check some more.......
I guess you have used the EXPORT function of XChange2. If not, I don't know if your information is located on the hard drive in a manner that is accessible. The location, that I showed above, is where my files go when EXPORTED from the XChange2 app...........
I did some snooping on my system, and it looks like the program and data sits in a hidden folder. You'll have to turn on "View Hidden files" in the control panel. Control Panel - Folder Options - View - "Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
On my system, it is C:\Users\Ralph\AppData\Roaming\XChange2 If you right-click on your XChange2 shortcut and go to properties, the file path is listed under "target". It looks like the actual datafile is called mldata.
My suggestion is to copy the complete XChange2 folder. Once you install XChange2 on your new computer, just paste the copy over top of the new one. That should update back to all your old settings. If that doesn't work, uninstall XChange2, reinstall, and then just try pasting only the mldata file.
That got it! Thank you all for your help. The mldata is the file I would suggest everyone copy and store that from time to time on a flash drive or other storage device se[erate from your primary hard drive I got luck I was able to recover the data had I needed to erase the drive to fix it all my xchange data would be lost.
