: : Mark,

: : Is there a file where the Investment Goals and Asset Type labels are stored. I had to reinstall FM but have a backup of my directory from before the reinstall. I've restored my fund data files, but my goals and asset types are not correct.

: : Can you provide guidance?

: It looks like these may be stored in the registry. Since my computer blew, does that mean I have no way to recover my categories? Why wouldn't FM store this data in files in its own directory?

Hi Bob,

Yes, these are stored in the registry. All of the global preferences for Fund Manager are stored in the registry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager

and specifically the asset labels are stored here:

Asset Type Labels

and the goal labels here:

Investment Goal Labels

Fund Manager stores global preferences for the program in the registry, as this is the intended place for programs to store such information. I can see the argument that these should also be stored in portfolio files, but they aren't currently.

Thanks,
Mark
