Perhaps look for hidden folders in Windows.old? By default, Mnemosyne saves everything in AppData, but if you've changed the location of your database yourself, Windows cannot know about it. So, try to remember where you put your database, and/or let Windows run a search over all your drives.

Ah... But if it saved to a directory that was outside the scope of Windows' destructive "refresh" path perhaps? I did check the windows.old directory and apparently the only thing microsoft thought was worth keeping in user/appdata/etc. was a single microsoft folder. :( Thanks for your assist tho! much obliged. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
