Now, if you want to know where the log files are located, it varies depending on the operating system. In Windows 7, the path is almost the same but stored in a further deeper folder.

There are many of these Junctions in Windows 7. Windows has supported the use of Junctions for a long time, but they were not used extensively until Windows Vista. It is recommended that the user does not change any of the properties of these folders, since doing so can cause some installed programs to stop working or other behavior that can result in more serious problems. Here is a link with more information. Application Compatibility: Junction Points. Thank you.
I understand the rationale, and do appreciate that Windows 7 does such a good job with my XP programs. I know you have gone over this before, but this reply makes sense to me. You're not understanding the way these Junctions work. When an older program is installed that is hard coded to use the old windows folder names, the junctions are designed to automatically redirect the install program to the new folder location.
Once this process is complete, that location is recorded as the location for the programs data store. If a Junctions permissions are changed, this can be problematic because the older installation program may be able to actually access walk through the Junction and this can result in unexpected behavior, such as a recursion infinite loop. So if a program was allowed to keep following subdirectories and treated that junction like a subdirectory, it would get in an infinite loop.
Sometimes I get bitten in the butt by this. For example, I can't run altiris rapidinstall as administrator without getting into a loop plus it's only 32 bit.
I don't know how it ended in that foIder. Can you please explain how my file ended in that directory and how can I restore it?
I tried to double click to open the file but to no avail, this message appears: "The drive or network connection that the shortcut xxxxxxxxx refers to is unailable Oddly enough, I just ran into the same problem today trying to get custom Adobe Acrobat portfolio files. I found this thread very interesting to read; however, I took a different approach before discovering this thread. I used a virtual DOS box cmd tp find the Applications Directory I needed and then used a command line "copy" to copy the files.
This seems to make the most sense onthis thread, in particular to my question, but in the end, all the code and "back end" stuff is foreign to me. My bottom line question is related though. I need to access my pst files to move outlook from one box to another. I've done it before with no problem, but the path indicated in outlook takes me through the app data folder. This is where I cant continue, and am stumped. Can you explain how to get there safely?

In the Compose window, be sure to select the proper options for the versions you are using at the bottom of the window. Operating Systems from the same family can often read permissions for similar OSs. It depends on which direction you are going a lot of times. If you are booting into Windows 95 old probably won't know what to do with Windows 7 permissions. If you are booting into, say some non-Windows OS, that OS might just completely ignore whatever permissions are on the file and pretend like there aren't any permissions on it, letting you copy, delete, or do whatever you want with the file.
I don't know off the top of my head which versions of windows ignore which other versions of windows permissions, but I am sure some of them do. If it works, you should be able to copy it into whatever new location you want and then restart after taking the boot disk out without any lasting changes to the computer.
Thank-You so much!! Victory at last! That was all I had to do. Ive been trying to move the weatherbug gadget to my new laptop from the old one as I cant dl it from the web anymore but it was not showing up in my computer.
All I had to do was check that one little thing Thx for ending a 2 hour nightmare Lol! Or at the very least, display the new location that corresponds to the junction point so that the user can direct themselves to the new location manually. Seriously, this is a horrendous failure of basic ergonomics of your own UI, and I have fired programmers for less. Get your act together. A computer must compute to be a computer. It circumvents the roadblock of junctions but I have to wonder why bother listing a junction.
Why not just have it point to and open the folder? Minimally, why doesn't properties give the folder it points to? Hopefully there is a reason for junctions and not just another way to make it harder to get around Windows. Office Office Exchange Server.
Not an IT pro? Windows Client. Sign in. United States English. You can either access it manually or by using the "AppData" variable name. You can view the AppData folder manually by going into your Users folder, which is there in the C drive.
You can also access the AppData folder directly using the AppData system variable. Windows will directly open up the Roaming folder which is inside the AppData folder. Typically, you won't have to worry about the data inside the AppData folder — that is why it is hidden by default.
It is only used by application developers to store the necessary data required by the application. Everyday Windows users will only need to access or view the AppData folder if they need to create a backup of their application data.
