fs9 cfg files where are they?

Postby redbilly » Sun Dec 09, 2007 5:59 pm

greetings all;I need some hel-p locating my cfg files in fs9 software.I have not been able to find the path to this file.I've been told that the file exists @ c:\Documents and Settings\x\Programdata\microsoft\FS9\fs9.CFG. It's been explained many times that the path is c:\admin\application data...thats where I'm lost.I now have a host of icons ;about 8;most of them are security config files;credentials;etc;not remotely what I am looking for.I'm open to any ideas.  I know how to follow a path ;but don't seem to have the files where they are to be?   thanks jerry

If you have the English version of Windows XP fs9.cfg is in this location.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9

If all else fails, you could search you machine for " fs9.cfg ", and the path should be shown in the search results.

....Then make a shortcut on your desktop to that  and also to your main FS9 folder........REALLY handy you will find..........commoner ;)

...and BTW, there is only ONE fs9.cfg file........ :)

Make sure your folder is set to show hidden files. If not you won't be able to see it. Windows hides .cfg files. Click on Tools>Folder Options>View, scroll down and make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also if you search make sure you have selected to search "System files and folders".
