Where is stuff kept? by TxStrawberryCreek - 2013-09-18

JHolly knew what I wanted. I could find the executables, but I was more interested in where the macros, database files, etc. were kept. I was able to ferret out that info under WinXP, but navigating as JHolly outlined via Windows Explorer was fruitless. That "appdata" folder doesn't show.

There's a similar issue in MacOS where the "Library" folder is normally not visible, unless you know the correct keyboard salute, at which point you move that folder into a sidebar, so that it's always available. The MacOS designers apparently feel that they have to protect that folder from bumbling users munging things up in there. Looks like a similar thing has happened with the "AppData" folder in Win7.

Lil Devil had the solution, however. Invoking "Folder Finder" from the Tools menu took me right where I wanted to go.

I have just now learned how to make the AppData folder visible. To do that, in Windows Explorer, click Organize/Folder and Search Options/View Tab. Select the Show hidden Files, Folders, and drives option.

Thanks, y'all, for helping me learn.
