Settings Files Location

All FileCenter/FileConvert settings are stored in a single folder. To find it, click the drop-arrow under the "Help" button > "Support Options" and click "Browse Settings".

It will normally be one of the following locations.

Windows XP:

c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FileCenter
c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\FileCenter

Windows Vista and Newer:

c:\ProgramData\FileCenter
c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\FileCenter

IMPORTANT: These folders are hidden by default. To see them, you'll have to tell Windows to show hidden files:

  1. Go to the Windows Control Panel
  2. Select File Explorer Options or Folders
  3. Click the View tab
  4. Look for Hidden Files and Folders on the list
  5. Select Show Hidden Files and Folders then click OK
