How to find templates I saved on my laptop

**Davora** · 15 October 2019, 03:10 PM

Hi All

I did save templates etc last year before my online update expired this year.

A month ago I had to do a fresh install of Windows 10 due to laptop issues, I did this & chose the option to save all my files/programs etc in a windows old file that is created when I did the fresh install.

I don't know how to find the templates so I can add pages or build a new site, I have Magix premium 15.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Dave

Dave, it they are still there, look in

Code:

%localappdata%\Xara\WebDesigner\15\Cache\designs\eng\

Copy the bold text into MS Windows Explorer, not a browser.

Hi Acorn

Thanks no luck in finding them, looks like it's going to be a struggle to retrieve! I've read on here in other post that Xara on not very good at helping with this.

From what I understand Windows automatically deletes the Windows.old folder after a month or so to free up all the space it's taking up.

Yes it does, 28 days to be precise.

Open Windows Explorer and expand 'This PC'
Click C: drive
On the Ribbon (top menu bar) click 'View' > 'Hidden Items'
Open Windows.old and drill into Users > (Account Name) > AppData > Local > Xara > WeDesigner > 15 > Cache > Designs > Eng

Copy the whole Eng folder.

Hi Boy & Chris
Thanks so much! found that file & I'm copying it to my desktop. Can you advise where to put the folder (after copying to my desktop) so I can then access it to make changes to my website?

And how to access it once I open my website on my local machine?

Thank goodness for this forum, without it many times I have got stuck!

Kudos to all on here who give up their time & help, it's really appreciated.

Kind Regards

Dave

Hi Chris
Thanks I have found & copied the ENG folder to the desktop, I guess I just need advice on how to access the folder from xara, so I can make changes to my website?

Where do I put this permanently to access it? & does it matter.

Regards Dave
