hi guys i want to open some folders exist in users folder using run but if i type %appdata% in run then a pop up comes how do you want to open this file please can anyone help me

:)

 

How do I access the appdata folder when it is not my C:\ drive?

Its a hidden folder by default. You need to enable hidden files and folders. You can navigate to it though by typing in the path or if you are logged in under the user account in question in explorer just click on the navigation bar and type %appdata% its a system variable so it will open it right up.

 

How to access appdata folder

Hi Jaden,

Thank you posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Write in the search box the following: “%appdata%” .
• After the search is finished left click or tap on the folder that the search feature found.
• If it takes you to the following path: “C:\Users\The user that you are logged in with\AppData\Roaming”.
• It means that your folders are still there but they are hidden.
• Click on “View”.
• Check the box “Hidden items”

Also you refer to the below link.

Thank you, all.

However, it is NOT a C:\ drive in the current PC (old PC broke, trying to get data off it). So typing in %appd% will not work!!

I guess I just need to enable the hidden files and folders....

Bingo... thank you!!!! I could not for the life of me think of that.... Oy.
