The first time you start MapInfo Pro after an upgrade, any files that have been
modified will be backed up into a folder named backup_yyymmdd_hhmm (current
date and time) at the following location.:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\versionCopying files and tools for first time use by this user.If any files were backed up, a Task is created, and it is visible in the Tasks Window. The task has a command button to open the backup folder in windows explorer. The View Log command shows the name of the backup folder. A notification bubble on the MapInfo Pro status bar indicates that the task has completed (unless that preference is disabled). You can safely close the tasks window as this is purely informational. Advanced users can decide to restore their backed up files for use by MapInfo Pro.
