Later on this year i plan on upgrading with a new system from windows xp to windows 7 64-bit. I got quite a few characters i created and saved through m4 and m4 morphs, with props, clothes, etc. But one thing just hit me. In windows xp, everything is saved in program files under my smith micro folder. However, in windows 7, you can't save into the program files, so i would have to move everything into probably my documents when i re-install everything. The problem is poser will ask for the location of the missing files since everything is in a different location, and it would be a nightmare since all the files would be moved into a different place. How would i save my characters in advance if i'm switching from win xp to win 7? 

This just occurred to me when i was working with one of my characters. It won't be a problem in the near-future, since i don't plan on upgrading till way later this year, or even early 2014, but i'm just trying to prepare for when the time does come.
