I forgot to move information out of my private folder when upgrading to
Vista from XP. The secret folder program won't run on Vista. I tried
reinstalling it with no luck. I'm happy to move the files onto another
computer to restore, but where are the encrypted files? C:\Users\user\My
Private Folder appears empty. Thanks!

Go to the Start Menu and type in the Search Box windows.old. If that folder
is found that is where your info probably is.
 
Well, Microsoft did discontinue because of complaints by users that it
encrypts their data and make their data unrecoverable.
 
Thanks for the advice, Sam. Unfortunately, no items match my search, when I
type "windows.old" under the start menu.
