Check your c: drive to see if there is another bimodeler_14 directory with more recent files.
The location that IDT looks in is specified in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Information Design Tool\configuration\config.ini
The osgi.ocnfiguration.area and osgi.instance.area specify the location, and by default are:
osgi.configuration.area=@user.home/.businessobjects/bimodeler_14/config
osgi.instance.area=@user.home/.businessobjects/bimodeler_14/workspace
The "@user.home" placeholder is replaced with the "user.home" variable in Java. There are some quirks with this, but by default it is:
c:\users\xxx

This is i have noticed couple of times but i did not find any sap note for this issue.For projects default location is C:/Users/username/.businessobjects/bimodeler_14.
If projects are disappread then still you can open old universes instances from IDT-> File -> Open Projects -> Select Root Directory -> Retrieve Projects from old bimodler_14 directory

Thanks for reply.
What in idt controls where it looks for this.
Before I believe it was defaulting to \\myDocuments\.... rather than C
I haven't changed anything but noticed when looks to create a new local project defaulting to c now.
Possibly some windows change been made which unaware of but if could specify the default area it looks for this bimodeler_14 folder could then control this and it woudl pick up the previously defined local projects.
Do you know if this is possible and where this is set?

bimodeler_14 folder might be missing or corrupted in your users folder. c:\users\<yourname>\.businessobjects\
