Hello Brad, I just confirmed that all my modified files are in the craft/templates folder, but they are not being honored. If I delete the templates folder, I get an error, but when I put it back, only the default craft templates are loading. Is there a twig config setting that differs on Windows systems?

It looks like your craft/templates folder on the Windows box has the default template that Craft ships out-of-the-box with and not the custom templates and front-end resources that you've designed.

Make sure your correct files are actually in `craft/templates`.
