MT4 - cant save profiles

I want to copy my customized profiles to a different computer. But the profiles folder is empty despite the fact I have over 10 custom profiles.

Screen grab of my 'profiles' folder attached.
Also my MT4 loaded with my custom AUDUSD profile, I have one of these for each major currrency pair.

You're on Vista, aren't you? Vista won't let programs store files in their installation folders (crogram Files and crogram Files (x86)). So what they did was create a parallel set of directories for programs to store files in.

Here's where they are:

users_your_name_AppDataLocalVirtualStore_your_metatrader_

Obviously you have to fill in your user name and your metatrader's name (i.e. MB Trading, Interbank FX, etc)
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Hi, I am using Vista too, but I could not locate the profile as what you have suggested. I am not well verse in Windows. Could you please advise the sub-folder location? Thanks.

Navigate to :

C:
Users
<Your User Name>
AppData
Local
VirtualStore
Program Files (or Program Files (x86) if running 64 bit)
MT4 Folder (in my case FXDD Malta - Metatrader 4)

Hope this helps!!
