[WT-support] Lost contest file

[Bob-N4CU]

excellent suggestion.  Files were not hidden in expected folder.
found with ->cd /d C:\->dir ss.* /a /b /s
My computer name is bedroom.  I use Vista.
They were in:
C:\Users\Bedroom\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Win-Test\
Thanks, Bob

  First if you can run Win-Test and it successfully opens your log, the file is still there. Run WRITELOG to create a Cabrillo file and summary file.

  Perhaps SS.WTB is a hidden file?  Try this from a DOS command prompt:

  cd /d "C:\Program Filies\Win-Test"
  dir /a /od

  This will display all files, even hidden files, sorted by last-modified date, with the most recently updated files listed last.

  If that doesn't work, try

  CD /d C:\
  dir SS* /a /b /s

  Which will search your entire C: drive for files that star with SS, and list the full path to those files.  If that doesn't find it, try D:\ or E:\ drive if you have those drives.

  If you find the file, but it is "hidden" (doesn't show up with "dir /a"), you can unhide it via

  attrib -h -s SS.wtb  (removes Hidden, and System file flags).

  The other possibility is that it is kept inside a "Compressed File Folder" (a Zip file) somewhere, but that seems unlikely.

    I just finished a contest with the contest file named SS.  I cannot find SS.WTB in the Win-Test folder or anyplace on my computer using search.  I went through the createlog screen and can't find a .log or .adi file either.  They should be in the Win-Test folder but are not there.  I have opened and closed the contest log several times so the computer can find the ss.wtb file.  Any idea on how to locate the log files?
    Bob
