Well there is the application data folder in each user directory, which has been renamed appdata for vista.

C:\users\%username%\appdata\

Its a hidden folder by default, so youll have to unhide it or go into folder options (via control panel) and check the show hidden files and folders option

There is no "apps" folder. The is the Program Files folder where much of the application-related stuff is stored, but you don't have direct access to it except as the Administrator -- which you're not unless you unhid the real "Admin" account.

Under my name all folders appear i.e. contacts, desktop etc. However I can not see or access the apps folder. Is there a way I can enable my abiltiy to see and access this folder?

Thank you, LTK
