  • Where are Settings and Custom Colours Stored?

    I have taken advantage of the break in trading to do a clean install on my PC.

    I have got my old settings from the toy and want to copy them over to my fresh installation of the toy.

    I got them, prior to wiping my operating system and reinstalling it, from:

    c:/program files/The Geek/A Geeks Toy/Resources/Settings

    and

    c:/program files/The Geek/A Geeks Toy/Resources/Colour Schemes--custom


    However, I can't find these folders now I have downloaded Version 1? Where should I put them? Has the location been changed in Version 1?

    Any help most welcome!

    Hi mate,

    By the looks of it the folders are stored at

    C:
    ProgramData (not Program files)
    AGeeksToy
    Settings

    and then it has folders here for each individual profile I have setup so I guess you put the files here.

    I've not done any custom colours myself but there is a folder called "Colour schemes custom" at

    C:
    ProgramData (not Program files)
    AGeeksToy

    so again I guess you place the folder you have in there

    (this is where the folders are on my vista PC anyway)

    Regards
    Mike

      I could not find my program "data" files,apparently they are hidden by default in Vista,so googled and found this:

      Find help and how-to articles for Windows operating systems. Get support for Windows and learn about installation, updates, privacy, security and more.


      I can see them all now!

      Regards

      Microsoft cannot even get this correct:

      Control panel > Folder options > View > Show hidden files and folders.

        Cheers guys - just tried this after getting back from the pub and it works spot on - perhaps something that should be added to the user manual!

        Merry Christmas!
