This article applies to AOL versions 4 through 9.5. This article does not apply to AOL Desktop.
The AOL Organize directory contains the email, favorites and address books for all of your screen names. The location of your AOL Organize directory depends on the version of AOL you are running and (for AOL 9 only) the version of Windows.
The paths given below are approximate and may need to be updated for your computer. For example, if you are running AOL 8, then the path would be "America Online 8.0", not "America Online 7.0".
If you've installed multiple versions of AOL on your computer, then you will have multiple Organize directories. You will typically want to use the Organize directory from the latest version installed.

(Japan only): C:\Program Files\AOL 7.0\Organize
