Migrating notes from Ubuntu to Windows

Hi, I've just installed Tomboy on my new windows vista machine. I have tons of notes from my ubuntu machine which I'll like to migrate to vista. I thought I could just copy over all my *.notes files which is what I did for my OS X leopard machine and works like charm. But I can't figure which folder to copy to in vista. Can someone shed some lights on this. Thanks in advance.

on a normal windows install it would be:

c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Tomboy

You should be able to safely move your entire tomboy directory over.
Make sure to restart tomboy.

Best,
Doug

Doug, thanks for your pointer. There's no C:\Documents and Settings[username]\Application Data in Vista but figured out the equivalent is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming. Tomboys works and I'm happy :-) Thanks again.
