Location of user data - Plants vs Zombies
coop
A 7 year old friend of mine has mistakenly overwritten his user data.
He is crushed. He's rarely allowed to play on the computer and is
devastated that he has lost his ranking and his zen garden.
I would like to be able to copy my user data onto his computer but
cannot for the life of me figure out where it is stored. I use xp, he
has vista.
Anyone?
This is his first computer game - too soon to learn that hard a lesson.

So tell him now that he has learned to play the game, he can regain what he
had gotten up to easier and quicker. Rebuild and improve. That is the
process of learning.

Thank you, I already did.
Does anyone have an actual answer to the question posed?

You may need winrar if you don't have it already.

I already have the game thank you.
I'm trying to determine where the user data is stored on Vista.
That's the question I was hoping to have answered.

Did you try google?
Wanna continue playing Plants Vs. Zombies on a different computer, but don't
want to lose your progress? I know I ran into this scenario: I've been
playing the game on my netbook, but really wanted to start playing on my
desktop's 24" monitor.
So I poked around and eventually figured out where the elusive save files
are located.
Steam version
Vista/Window 7: C:\ProgramData\Steam\PlantsVsZombies\userdata
XP: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\plants vs zombies\userdata
Non-Steam version
Vista/Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies\userdata
XP: C:\Program Files\PopCap Games\Plants vs. Zombies\userdata
So, locate the files on the computer you're currently playing on. Then, copy
all of the .dat files into the directory on the computer you want to start
playing on (in my case, I copied them from the netbook to the desktop). Note
that this will overwrite any progress on the target computer, but you
probably figured that already.

So right in a subdirectory of where the program is installed. Great mystery
indeed.
