Weather Watcher stores its settings in the following locations:

Windows Registry Settings:  
HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Weather Watcher

Files/Skins:

Windows Vista/7:  
C:\Users[Windows Username]\AppData\Roaming\WeatherWatcher

Windows XP:  
C:\Documents and Settings[Windows Username]\Application Data\WeatherWatcher

Note: The files/skins will be stored in the Weather Watcher program folder (C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\User[Windows Username]) if the “Store user files in the Weather Watcher program folder” box is checked in the “General” tab of the Weather Watcher Options window.

:-s Don’t you mean the (C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\User[Windows Username]) folder?

Just don’t want anyone to get confused. 😉 There are skins in the C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher folder also. Maybe [[b]a link to my .cmd script[/b]](http://www.singerscreations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2149&start=12) would be helpful? And did you see my suggestion of adding a means to display the current live/inuse skins location to the Options’ Skins tab?

Nope – good idea though.
