finding .csv files
« on: May 20, 2010, 04:27:24 PM »
I exported my Yahoo contacts and the internet automatically saved it. I have no idea what the file is called or where it is saved. What should I do?

        Export them again and pay attention to where it is saving.
        C:\Documents and Settings\ User Name\My Documents
        Something like this I'd bet

        You should have a file named yahoo_ab.csv.  If you did not see it on a screen during the export procedure, then you need to repeat it.  I had to click on Export twice before it responded.  Or, perhaps the user just needs to click once and wait until the export screen that shows the file appears.  But, if it does not respond after some pause, click again. It will be saved to whatever folder you have set at the normal target (folder) for downloaded files.
