Display %appdata%\Microsoft

Post by *mrorecklin@gmail.com »

File Manager shows the full contents of %appdata% which includes a folder \Microsoft. TC does not show %appdata%\Microsoft

Am I missing something? The \Microsoft folder holds the folders and files on the Start Menu.

%AppData%\Microsoft has the System file attribute set by default. To be able to see it, you need to configure TC to show hidden system files in Options > Display.

Note that it's still possible to navigate to hidden directories. Just enter the path in TC's command line (with a "cd " preceding it), or via the path bar above the column headers. The same applies to Explorer by the way (except the command line thing ;)).

Just a small correction: Newer TC versions have separate "hidden" and "system" options. So in this case, you need to show system files in Configuration - Options - Display. Otherwise Dalai is correct.

You can also create a button to go to the directory by dragging it to one of the button bars, and then disable system folders.

Oops, that's what I meant. Will correct my post above accordingly
