Re: Argh - Lost my connections file and all saved passwords

I had the same happen a week or two ago and traced it down to the 
CONNECTION*.* files in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application 
Data\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.5\User Files. Although my search 
was not comprehensive, I couldn't find a backup of it anywhere that I 
looked. 

If anyone has had this happen to them or knows how to recover the 
connection info (and more importantly to me, the named SQL), please chime 
in. Apparently, this is happening to multiple users. 

In my situation, I don't recall an expectant shutdown or anything unusual.

My desktop unexpectedly shut down while toad was running.  After a restart 
I received a message indicating the password file cannot be shared between 
different users and it will be replaced.  My connections page is empty.  I 
had about 15 or 20 database connections with saved passwords in here.  Is 
there any way to salvage this?  Where is this file saved so I can back it 
up?
Thanks
