Signatures file

[JP]

I want to transfer signatures from my old machine (Outlook 2007 on a Vista
machine) to my new computer but am unable to locate the signatures
file/folder. Any idea where this is stored?

 

[DL]

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Signatures\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures

paste this into the start search field in vista:
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

%AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures, both on XP and on Vista.

I don't think that's correct.

%AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures, both on XP and on Vista.

Think you missed out \roaming\.....

Did you try it? (It opens the signatures folder here.)

Don't know about XP but it works on vista (my command works on both)...

(Don't you guys ever test things before you say its wrong?)

Maybe because of the junctions in Vista. I thought the Vista path was
%UserProfile%\AppData|Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures or, more simply,
%AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures

You're wrong. The AppData environment variable already contains "roaming".
