Hi, I'm trying to backup my collections file but it's nowhere to be found.
It's not located in Documents & Settings/UserName/Local Settings/Application
Data/Movie Maker. I've used the search to look for the filename and the
folders but there isn't any Local Settings or Application Data folders nor
the backup file. Can someone help? I need a response ASAP (working on a
project).

Maybe the following info will offer some ideas:

As mentioned in the article:
"Movie Maker 2 -
Managing - Collections"...
here's the path to the
MEDIATAB1.DAT
database file:

C:\Documents and Settings\>user name<\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker\

One more thought...

Open a folder and go to...Tools / Folder Options / View tab...
Tick..."Show hidden files and folders" / Apply / OK.

Now you should be able to file the file:

C:\Documents and Settings\>user name<\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker\MEDIATAB1.DAT
