Google Earth User Guide - Manual (Page 24)

Tip - If you are upgrading to Google Earth from a previous version, you can access
the Sightseeing folder by opening the default_myplaces.kml file located in the
Google Earth installation folder, as follows:
1. Click File > Open. A dialog box appears. Use the dialog box to navigate to the
folder where Google Earth is installed. If you installed Google Earth using the
default method, look in Program Files > Google > Google Earth for the
application.
2. Select the default_myplaces.kml file and click Open. A second My Places folder
appears in the Temporary Places folder.
3. Expand this second My Places folder to view the Sightseeing folder within. If you
wish, you can drag the sightseeing items to your original My Places folder if you
want them to appear the next time you start Google Earth. Or, simply right-click
(CTRL click on the Mac) on any place you want to save and select Save to My
Places from the pop-up menu.
You can also tour places in the Sightseeing folder as you would any placemark. See
Touring Places .
