Hello

An old XP program I installed has put some files into a folder called
C:\users\myname\appdata\roaming .

I can find the folder using Vista 'search' facility, but not using explorer
??

The program works OK and I have got a shortcut to the folder I need, but why
does it not show up in explorer ?

Thanks

K

Disable 'show hidden files and folders' then go to
C:>Users>myname>AppData>Roaming. It's here when I click on my
C:\users\myname\appdata\roaming.
