Default 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.

In Windows 7, this is done in exactly the same manner in which it was
done in WinXP, so I don't understand why you're having a problem.

In Windows Explorer, click Tools Folder options View and select
"Show hidden files, folders, and drives."
