Re: [Tuxpaint-users] TuxPaint won't save

[Kirsten RK <rot...@gm...>]

Hi Sharon,
Then there is this other option. The usersettings are usually in a
hidden folder.
On my pc it is
C:\Users\Kirsten\AppData\Roaming\TuxPaint
If I delete this folder, all the preferences are deleted. If Tux Paint
re-starts, the folder is created again and the preferences are new.

So on your laptop it could be
C:\Users\Sharon\AppData\Roaming\TuxPaint

Here it explains how to show hidden folders:

Good luck and hopefully you will find the solution for your daughter,
Kirsten
