When I export a Comodo config file, I put it here:
\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Comodo
The problem is that Comodo remembers this location (apparently after the first export since it isn’t a standard Comodo location) and then DELETES the whole folder during an update, causing you to lose your exported config files!
I have learned to copy the config file I am going to want to import after the update to another location.
BUT I should not have to manually do this. Comodo update should not go around deleting a folder that it did not create in the first place w/o asking for user confirmation.
I think you are totally wrong - In the past Comodo has ALWAYS created and used that location.
I too had XP, and Comodo created at various times in the past, two sets of folders
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro
and
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Comodo\PersonalFirewall
Both these parents contained subfolders and files.
The obvious and easy solution is a sensible location that does not invite unwanted attention.
Try using
\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\MySpecialStuffKeepYOurHandsOff
