Elecraft utilities configuration files?

This may be more of a Windows problem than a Elecraft utilities problem, I’m not really sure, since I’m an Apple user with the exception of the computer in my shack, and I just got that for use with my Elecraft equipment. I’ll ask anyways.
I’m running Windows 10 and the Elecraft K3, P3 & KPA1500 utilities and for the life of me I cannot find where the utility programs are putting the configuration file on my computer. If I look at the properties of the file during the utility save process (Let's use the K3 utility as an example) it tells me there being saved in C:\users\user\appdata\roaming\elecraft\k3\configuration but I can not find any of these config files except from the utility programs. The reason I think this could be a Windows problem and not a utilities problem is that I can’t even find the “Appdata" folder. Just “C:\users\user” The utility programs can find them, but I can’t! I'd like to back them up to a thumbnail drive.
Anyone have an idea of what I’m missing or doing wrong?
Thanks

Ron,

The files may be labeled as "hidden". To see the files, right click on
the folder (select it), then "View", then make sure "Hidden Files" is
checked.

Re: Elecraft utilities configuration files?

The settings are in the registry. Use regedit to view.
HKCU/Software/Elecraft. You can export them with the registry editor.

Re: Elecraft utilities configuration files?

Hi John
That did the trick.
While I do loved my Apple’s, I have to admit. In the radio world, PC are still the dominant force. I’m getting caught up with Windows. Slowly…..very slowly.
I really appreciate the help.

You need to show ALL FILES ( even hidden files).

Elecraft utilities configuration files?

In reply to this post by Ron Genovesi

An easy way to find and copy the configuration files is as follows:

In the utility select Save Configuration - This will open an Explorer window to allow you to specify a file name.

Don't specify a file name

Pick the file you want to copy and right click it

Select Copy

Cancel the file save

Then past the file to the device/directory of you choice

This technique is useful for finding files associated with many applications. Just start a file save but don't complete it.
