My wife had to re-install Windoze on her laptop recently and not realizing where a lot of her "application user data" is stored (the C drive which was wiped over) she lost everything that was there (which could but luckily didn't involve losing much of any value).

Maybe it might be an idea that when first started up from a fresh installation the user is prompted where to store the DB info (the wallet location in particular of course) as I know at least in her case she would be sure to have picked another drive to store the data on (as she does this for all other apps she uses when prompted).


Cheers,

Ian.
