    Recipe Boxes do not show in BigOven after updating software

    I just updated to BigOven Deluxe 1.8.891.  Now all of the Recipe Boxes I had created are missing from the BigOven screen.  I can still navigate to a recipe by drilling down to the folder where all the Recipe Boxes are located, and the recipe will open, but the Recipe Box still does not show up in BigOven. 

     I checked, and all of my Recipe Boxes are in the same folder - both the provided Recipe Boxes (which ARE showing up in BigOven) and all of my Recipe Boxes (which are NOT showing up in BigOven).

     How do I get ALL of my Recipe Boxes to show in BigOven - they were all there until I updated the software earlier today.

     Thanks!

    BigOven doesn't delete recipe boxes during install/uninstall without the user explicitly indicating they'd like to delete the recipe boxes.

    Instead, it sounds like BigOven is simply looking in a new default location for the recipe boxes.  Note that about 2 years ago, we moved the default data install location from the "My Documents" area to the "Shared Documents" area of your PC.  If you've got a copy of BigOven that is several years old, that's likely the case.  

    The best document we have to tell BigOven where your "My BigOven Recipes" folder truly is, is here:

    http://www.bigoven.com/docs/regedit.htm

    Double-check that it's pointing to the correct location.   We strongly recommend you move your old "My BigOven Recipes" folder with the latest recipe boxes to the "Shared Documents" folder.
