Making Win 7 Folder Structure More Visible
I just moved from XP to Win 7. I was in the process of transferring
custom.dic when I realized that the AppData folder did not appear under my user name, but that's where I need to put the custom dictionary file. My question is how to make all the folders appear in Win 7 so I can work with folders, as I did in XP. I suspect there is a configuration option, but I so far have not located it and suspect the infamous security issues are blocking what I want to do. It's too bad they design Windows around complex corporate security issues and leave the rest of us in mess after mess. [Separately, I have a good email address in my profile, but I am not being notified of replies on this message board, but I will check back.] |

It's a hidden folder. Either type it in the address bar or turn on hidden
files and folder. -- .. -- "Tom461" wrote in message ... I just moved from XP to Win 7.
