I searched my old windows backup folder but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know the default location for these settings in XP? Maybe I can still retrieve them. I had customized recipes along with my Kindle email settings. Thanks.
Copy the Calibre configuration folder.

If XP still runs you can use Preferences:Misc.. Open configuration to locate it (hidden by windows defaults)
