Running Quicken 2006 Premier.



Not a problem, I have my backup files.



I'm very curious. Last night everything was fine. This morning I started Quicken and it acted like it was the first startup after installation. After some investigation, I found that my Quicken data files, that I maintained in My Documents/Quicken were gone! I mean the folder was there but was completely empty.



Restored data and running okay.



Has this happened to anyone else? Cause?

<Shrug> Something deleted your files?

Hi, Your name (Is that REALLY your name?).

And which Windows version? Vista changed some of the rules "behind the curtain", especially the rules about Users and Permissions and such. You may have a Vista problem, not a Quicken problem.

Even on Windows XP, each User has their own My Documents folder. Could you possibly have logged into Windows as a different user?
