CARCare
Title: I cannot find My database file on
Windows Vista
Overview:
When running CARCare on Windows®
Vista, Vista will actually store your database in a "VirtualStore"
folder, completely different from the normal C:\Program Files\CARCare
folder where you would you expect it to be stored. This normal behavior with
Vista, and it is designed this way to keep your data out from under the
"Program Files" path.
In order to view and access this path on Vista, you will need to use Windows
Explorer to navigate to the "C:\Program Files\CARCare" folder, and
then click the "Compatibility" button in the upper portion of the
Explorer window. You will then see the VirtualStore folder path where your
database file is stored, which will resemble the path below:
Alternate Method:
You can change this Vista behavior by following the steps below. Your
database will then be located in the "C:\Program Files\CARCare" folder
as it was on prior versions of Windows:

-
Right-click on
the CARCare icon
