Where Does StarMoney Store Accounts and Documents?
StarMoney keeps accounts and documents under ProgramData by edition and version, not AppData. Exact profile paths.
Last updated
StarMoney stores its profile under the hidden ProgramData tree, versioned by edition like StarMoney 14 Deluxe. Documents land encrypted in a Document subfolder and link back into the database. The database, its index and the Document folder must travel as a set. A lone database without its attachments opens with gaps.
People look in AppData or Documents and find nothing. Enable hidden files or paste the path directly. The edition name in the path must match your license; Basic, Deluxe and Business keep separate trees. Use the built in backup to write a versioned copy, then restore through the same menu. Close the app on both ends first so locked files do not split the set.
Where StarMoney stores this, by platform
C:\ProgramData\StarMoney 14 Deluxe\profil
Profile with .sdy database, .sdx index and Document subfolder. Replace 14 Deluxe with your edition and version. Hidden by default; paste the path to open it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move StarMoney to a new computer?
Use File Backup inside StarMoney to write a versioned backup, then restore on the new PC through the same menu. Manual folder copies work but miss open database locks. Close StarMoney on both ends first.
Which StarMoney files must I back up?
The .sdy file holds the database, .sdx the index, and the Document subfolder holds encrypted statements. All three must travel together. A lone .sdy without its Document folder opens with missing attachments.
