    Hello
    A pathway for a file is C:\, users, us, appdata according to its properties.
    When I do a search for appdata, it is a valid path for a lot of other entries.
    But when I look in Windows explorer, appdata is not there.
    What am I not understanding?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    I had the same problem once, I would try to enable "show hidden files" and then search again in windows explorer.
    Hope it helps!

    The term "appdata" (application data) could very well be used for temporary files which may not show up in a Windows Explorer search, whether hidden or not...

    >>You were right. I exposed hidden folders and found appdata.
    Thank you very much.

    Although you got the thank you from Peter, it seems like my advice helped to solve problem after all...
    Mostly, if appdata files don't show up in windows explorer,they are hidden...:cool
