Hi Troy,
Here you go:
If you want to make the AppData folder
accessible you can try the following but, you will probably need Administrator
rights to do this.
1. Press, Windows key + R, to open the Run
dialogue then type a single period, as you would at the end of a sentence
and press enter. This is a shortcut to put you into the User / Name
folder.
2. Press, Alt + F, then press the letter, O, to
open Folder Options, then Control + Tab to the View tab.
3. Tab to the advanced settings Tree Biew files
and folders, if it's closed right arrow to open.
4. Press the letter, H, to go to Hidden files
& folders open. Down arrow 2 times to, Show hidden files, folders
and drives, off , now press the spacebar to turn this to, On.
5. Down arrow to, Hide protected operating
system files, recommended on, and press the spacebar to turn this off. You
will get a warning dialogue so, tab to, Yes, and press the spacebar to
accept. Tab to, Okay, and press enter to save and close Folder
Options. Note: This will allow you to see all the files / folders
but, to access / open some them you might need Administrator
priviledges.
6. Now in your User / Name folder you are going
to have a lot more files and folders. to permanently unhide any of
these folders, if accessible, keep reading.
The, AppData, folder should be the 2nd from the
top right under, 3D Objects. Highlight the, AppData, folder and press, Alt
+ Enter, to open the properties of this folder. You should be on the,
General tab so, tab to the, Hidden checkbox checked, and press the spacebar to
uncheck it. Now tab to, Apply press the spacebar, this might take a little
time because it has to process a lot of information, now tab to, Okay, and press
enter to save and close.
If everything is accessible and works you will
be able to access the AppData folder whenever you need to without going into
Folder Options to do so.
7. Now remember to go back into Folder
Options and reverse the settings you changed to make files, folders, drives and
protected operating system files viewable, steps 2 thru 5. Take care. Go Rams! Sent from my iBarstool. I type out everything I want to remember. That way instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it was, I spend the time looking for where I saved it!
