shortcuts gone, toolbars gone; settings reset
shortcuts gone, toolbars gone; settings reset
(OP)
I just installed r22 and kept my r20 because it was set up just the way I need it. Now, r20 has lost all of my keyboard shortcuts, custom toolbars and all settings are default. Can anyone shed light on what happened or guide me to find (I hope to god they exist) the settings file/ keyboard file/ toolbar file?
I really wish CATIA didn't require questions like this.
Thank you.

I noticed that the path in the environment file wasn't a normal path (like one starting at C:\.....) but it started with "CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA"
I fixed this and gave each release their own CATSettings folder so r22 is free to wreak havoc in it's own directory while r20 can work harmoniously as it always has. This works for me as I will mostly be using r20.
Overkill on the explanation I know, but I'm open if anyone would like to add some info on this situation/ what I may have done wrong.

It's also a good idea to create a backup of your settings once you have them set as you like, in case Catia just decides to corrupt them one day.
