OOTP 6.5 league file location

[rferry]

Forgive me, it's been some time since I fired up OOTP 6.5, but a quick question:

Where are the league files held? I thought it was in individual folders in the game folder. However, none of my created leagues - fully playable - are there. Switching to administrative access and searching the computer for coaches.dat or schedule.dat yields only the entries under Career2005 and Create folders, and none of my created leagues.

Did you do a a search for any .lg files?

The only .lg files that show up belong to the leagues the game came with.

The created leagues are hidden so well they don't even show up when my file options are set to show all files even critical system files.

You too, Cuss?

Turns out that Vista has a hidden administrator account that can hide files even from user-set administrator accounts. You have to unhide it and set a password using the command prompt. From the real system-set administrator account, I could view the files. Then I set the user account to have full control over the OOTP folders. Now from the user account, I can see all the lg files to copy, zip, edit folder pictures, etc.
You may have to set OOTP to run as administrator yet again.
