[BaseCamp] where does BC store files on the C-drive?

[saddle sore]

Thanks all.  Well, there's quite a few 'hidden' files that I can see in the
outline list now.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough to start poking
around to see if I can find "stuff" that was in MY COLLECTION last week.  I
see the dates that files were created, but nothing simple enough for my
non-geek brain to follow through.  Using my backup got BC working again
yesterday, I'm just missing the new stuff that I put in since my last
backup.  Leaving well enough alone for now.
