With standard installations of Wordfast Classic in Windows, the program file (wordfast.dot, an MS Word template) and its auxiliary files (wordfast.cfg, wordfast.ini and possibly other related files) are located Word's Startup folder:

  • The typical path in Windows 7 and Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup
  • The typical path in Windows XP and Windows 2000:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

Note that AppData and Application Data are hidden folders. Hidden folders are not visible in Windows by default. If you don't see these folders and want to make them visible, see the related article How to make hidden folders visible in Windows.

This article does not apply to Macs where you load the Wordfast Classic file (wordfast.dot) into MS Word from wherever you keep it.
