Hi Tim

 

AppData Folder is a hidden folder, to see you need change: folder options, view, hidden files and folders, select: Display files, folders and hidden units.

Answer 5

The AppData folder has hidden attribute set by default. To unhide this folder (and others), open the Folder Options in the Vista Control Panel, and on the “View” tab, change the option to “show hidden files and folders”, and click OK.
