Windows 10 TB45.1 Lightning 4.7.1

PC reboot

Opened TB expecting to get to the Profile Manager (I have 2 e-mail accounts configured). Instead TB opened to create new account and everything is blank.

I can create new account and point it to the specific pop2 & local directories and get all l my mail back. But, my calendar and tasks are not found.

Where exactly are these files? How can I copy (move?) these files to where they need to be seen? I'm dead without my calendar

Also, all the add-on configuration has to go somewhere too? Where & how do/can I find these and move them to appropriate locations
