Why files do not show up under documents
My files that I have saved do not show up when I look for them, when i save
additional files or resave those files they still dont show up. need help. the files that i have save can't be found any where, even with searching "everywhere" however these file have been saved in the correct location, because when i saved more files, the files that i had saved are there, are shown. I even try making a new folder to save them into..... I could create the folders but still NO FILES! please help

Why files do not show up under documents
Where are you trying to save them?
When you use Windows Explorer to go to the folder you saved them to, do you see a button on the toolbar named "Compatibility Files"? If so, clicking on it will take you to where they are. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "svirving" wrote in message ...

Why files do not show up under documents
I have the same frustration with saved files , and trying to find out where
they are being stored. What intuitive reasoning is behind the "Compatibility Files" and for what intuitive thoughts were in the Vista minds when they made such a change from the straight-forward file management as in XP or previous Windows systems?? Somehow, a file "saved as" ends up under AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temorary Internet Files/ and cannot be found using the Search function. Why not a simple system as XP??

\AppData is under your C:\Users\(youraccount)
it is normally hidden. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Heather" wrote in message ... I have same problem. Dont even know how to find App/Data etc !!!

Dave
That is what is frustrating...when looking for it and it is "hidden".....duh...we can't possibly find it. If files are saved in a hidden file, what hope does one have to then find it? And even Search does not find it. A file so well hidden is not worth much to the user. There must be a simpler reason behind Vista being set up this way. deernut_00 "Dave" wrote: \AppData is under your C:\Users\(youraccount) it is normally hidden. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Heather" wrote in message ...
