Feeds Location

Greetings,

I am trying to back up my Favorites and Feeds. I've already found my
Favorites at:

c:\Users\Shane\Favorites\

but I can't find my feeds. Does anyone know where they are?

I'm using ie7 on Vista SP1.

Thanks,
Shane.

In XP, feeds are stored here:

C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Your Feeds\


For Vista, search for files "*.rss" then post the folder path here for other to see.

I searched my computer, and the only results that I could find were:

c:\Users\Shane\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Your
Feeds\Microsoft Feeds\

But does Windows Live Mail manage the Common Feed List? I thought Internet
Explorer did that.

Thanks,
Shane.
Windows Vista SP1
Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000

WLMail uses IE's Feeds.

Where does IE store the feeds? Once I know the location I can back it up.

Thanks,
Shane.

See my first reply: You backup IE7 Feeds by export them.

I saw your first reply. The backup software that I use can't be trained to
open Internet Explorer and then go through the whole process of exporting
feeds. So I was asking for the location that the feeds are stored.

Shane.

I wouldn't recommend backing up Feeds using software but the Feeds folder is
a subfolder of C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft <=this folder, Shane.

So if you're already backing up any of the higher containing folders, it's
part of your back up already.

Vista's Internet Explorer Feeds are stored here:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Feeds\

and/or here:

C\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Your Feeds\Microsoft Feeds\

Enter the paths into your backup program. A folder may be empty,
but you've got both possible feeds paths now.
