So you have made a few very cool web templates for showing off your latest photos and since you have had so much fun with photography you decide to upgrade you old computer with a new one. You finally get done with the hours of moving to a new machine and you have reinstalled Lightroom. You go looking and your web templates are gone?

Where did they go?

Well here is the bad news – More than likely if you did not back up your USER file on your old Windows machine those templates might be gone for good.

Here is where to look in Vista and Win 7:

C:/Users/Your User Acct/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Templates

And you thought it would be located in your lightroom catalog? So did I till I lost them all and had to recreate them.

Remember to back up your templates! I would recommend backing up the entire Lightroom user folder under Adobe – Just in case!

Worst case you can just import them in the reinstalled version of Lightroom if needed but at least you have not lost all your hard work.
