Yes, it is a hidden folder, so you need to enable Windows Explorer to show you the folder.

The folder’s path will be different for everyone, depending on your user name on that particular computer.

Searching for ‘bridgestore’ in Windows Explorer will show it.

Hi,
I am a software engineer and I know these kinda issues that just won’t go away. I actually found a simple solution to the Bridge problem. DO NOT USE CENTRALIZED CACHE. USE THE OPTION WHERE CACHE IS CREATED IN THE INDIVIDUAL FOLDER. This not only solved the above mentioned problem, but also improved the performance of the Bridge CS3. Hope this helps other fellow photographers struggling with this issue.

THANKS for the explanation, I had the same problem several months ago. I somehow figured out to make a new longin on my windows XP machine and it “fixed” the problem on that login, which makes sense because each login gets a diff folder in adobe.

I finally googled and found a different blog post on how to fix it, however they did not have a detailed explanation of WHY or talk about the MySql database. Good things to know if you’re a geek.

My friend Dan Coogan called and couldn’t figure out his problem on his MB Pro. I remembered having to kill a directory, but wanted to find the article. I I one again googled and found this article instead.

Way to blog to help others out.

Adam in Phoenix.

Brilliant explanation. I have been experiencing these issues for some time now that I nearly quit using Bridge. I use PhotoMechanic instead to quickly preview my RAW files. I’ll have to try and purge the folder Brian mentions. Thanks guys!
