where can i find it in windows XP?

[guest2424]

@gabrielleferrer31 read my reply to sian240, it's in your games userdata folder, u may have to enable "show hidden files/folders"

[sian240]

how do you get to the folder with user1.dat and things in it? and im on vista and i heard the folder can be "hidden" in /userdata i dont know how to see it

[guest2424]

@sian240 right click on the shortcut to the game, and go to "find target folder" or something, once your in the folder you installed it to, just go to the "address bar" and add "\userdata"

like

c:\games\PvZ\userdata

or

c:\program files\popcap games\Plants vs Zombies\userdata

or whatever it is.

for Win XP:

You could also try telling to it "show hidden files/folders" by going to "tools/folder options/view/hidden files and folders (show hidden files and folders)"

If its not the same, google it.

@IBlueNinjaI try using the windows file search function and searching for "game1_*.dat" without the quotes, the * means "anything" if u don't find the folder, try "game*_*.dat"
