After upgrading from 10.0 to 10.1, my custom toolboxes and the models I built in model builder seem to have disappeared, atleast in ArcCatalog.  Does anyone know where they would be located?

Where did you have the custom .tbx files located?

After installing v10.1, do you still have this directory: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\My Toolboxes - aka under Windows XP as: C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\My Toolboxes? If your .tbx files still exist, they will most likely be in this folder... Another place to look is C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0.

If those folders are gone though... In the future, a better place to store custom tools/tbx files/etc. is a network location that is backed up.

Thanks!  I found them in that folder, and was able to put them somewhere else....
