TPWINLOG File Locations

If you are using Windows 7 or Windows 10, and:
  • if you directed the TPWINLOG 2015 program to install in C:\TPQ then all the files you need (including TPLogOut.txt if you print to file) will be located in that folder.
  • if you allowed TPWINLOG 2015 to install in the default folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\TPQ
    then your files (including TPLogOut.txt if you print to file) will be located at:
    C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\TPQ
    where 'name' is the Windows user name under which the program was run.
In Windows 7, if you navigate to the program's folder C:\Program Files (x86)\TPQ
you can reach the data folder by clicking on Compatibility files, as shown in the screen shot below.

The Compatibility files button shown above for Windows 7 does not appear to be available in Windows 10, but you can open the file explorer at C:\Users and 'drill down' to 
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\TPQ
where 'name' is the Windows user name under which the program was run.

Another option is to search for tpqsolog using the search box near the upper right corner of the file explorer in either version of Windows. However, since AppData is a hidden folder, you may need to start your search there, rather than at a higher level in the folder (directory) tree. I found that a standard (non-admin) user search starting at C:\Users would not find the file tpqsolog.txt, but the same search starting from C:\Users\name\AppData does find the file.
