Local Settings folder

memory · 12-02-2006, 10:33 PM

I just had my pc formatted. Now I can't find the Local Settings folder. What I don't understand is if I locate the file through Ares that I am looking for, it will go to the folder. But if I try to find it myself, the folder is not there.

The folder that I am trying to get to is C:\Documents and Settings\Phillip\Local Settings\Application Data\Ares\My Shared Folder. But after I click on Phillip, there is no Local Settings folder there. But when I locate the file through Ares, I can see the Local Settings folder.

Sorry if this is confusing.

That's because Local Settings is a hidden folder and so is Application Data
