Project Recovery from manual backup

[[email protected]]

1. Had a computer crash and rebuilt it
2. New install of Pro Tools First
3. Copied a manual backup of all files to documents/protools to replace the clean install.
4. I can open new projects
5. I cannot see the old project listed in the start menu, just the new ones.
6. I can see bot old and new files in the folders

HOW DO I OPEN THE OLDER PROJECTS
