I have found the templates folder for Scrivener supplied templates, but cannot find the templates I have created. I dont like that I lose my templates when reinstalling and would like to keep a copy on a data drive. The templates say it is in the application library and the only reference I see for that in help is for Mac. Nothing comes up in a search for any of the words claimed as its location.
There is an option to view the Application folder in the File menu:
C:\users\username\appdata\local\LiteratureAndLatte\scrivener\templates?
(guessing here, not at pc)
If your talking about Document Templates, you probably have to drag those into your new Project.

Note if have Scapple and Scrivener will find in app data for user under Litererture and Latte and will see templates there. I copy and save in folder on dropbox and call templates so can access from any computer/tablet/etc using program. (windows)

On Windows, user templates are usually saved in:
C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Local\LiteratureAndLatte\Scrivener\ProjectTemplates

You can also export each template individually for sharing on another computer, using the “Export Selected Template…” command.
If you have a lot of customized templates, it may be time-consuming to get them all that way. But, if you remember to use it after you’re reasonably sure that you’ll reuse a custom template, you’ll have them all handy if you need to reinstall Scrivener later.

I have made a template Scrivener project. I have a template folder and every Template I create on another project, I will drag into my template project. Thus, I have a central hub of all templates I have ever used and becomes simple to open this project and drag templates into any project I want.
Your templates can saved anywhere as just simple documents, but the Template folder is inside the Research folder.
