      Hi

      Could someone please help me!

      I had to re-install windows 7 on my system as I changed my Mainboard+Processor, opting to keep the old windows installation (Windows.old).

      After reinstalling Sketchup, I can't seem to locate the preferences.dat file in windows.old directory (or am I missing something?).

      Could someone please point out the location of preferences.dat file so I could import the shortcuts. Thanks a TON in advance.

      Thanks again...

        Hello, the Preferences.dat file is something that only exists if you export it first. So if you didn't export it, it won't be there.

        But if you kept your old windows installation, did SU open with all its shortcuts in place? If you didn't delete the SU 8 registry, it might have been able to keep its shortcut keys.
