A: By default MyColors™ installs its files into the directory C:\Program Files\Stardock\MyColors™. Unless you have changed this setting during installation, this is where your files will be.

If you do have other versions of Stardock software installed (e.g. enhanced versions of WindowBlinds), the installer will not overwrite them. Instead, it will use those versions to apply the suites.
