It will now be located in your Documents folder, something like:

C:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\User Data\AccountName\Lake Superior

Inside the "Shard Name" folder you will find a file with each character name on that shard. Open the character file, and the macros will be listed under the <Macros> heading.

It's a good idea to make a copy of these files and store away some place - once in a while updates will bork these files.

thanks for the help but that didnt work. I put the macro in there and logged in uo, no macros. I know its the macros before I got new comp & got win 7, because I opened macro file and everything is listed. What else can I try?

I checked 1 char had an old macro. I checkecked another char hit same key f12 it does the same macro as first. but the 2nd char i tried. i never set macros up for it but it did same as 1st char now. this is not good

Here we go. i logged into a char on other acct and hit f12 did the same macro. so this tells me all my chars gotta have same macros on all accts. that will be great a char thats not a tamer will have "all kill". great

Do a search for your character name and that should find the file for you. Most likely you will find several character files, but the search should find the folder you are looking for.
