Folder Application Data

• Copies nested in the Application Data folder

  Running Windows 7 64 bit.  In my c:\Documents and Settings\All Users folder there is a folder of application data.  If I develop this folder I find what appears to be a complete copy of all the 'All Users' files, including another folder "Application Data".  If I develop this folder, I get another copy of everything, including (guess youe), "data Applications.  Extend only one, same thing... That's at least 27 levels.  What's happening?

  Hello TucsonBill,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  (a) are you referring to the application data folder?

  However we have folder AppData is hidden and Documents and settings can be found on the command prompt.

  Try to run an online virus scan to remove the malware running on the computer, please scan online by visiting the following link:

  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the local settings and Application data have been replaced by a single folder, % userprofile%\AppData\Local.

  In order to accomplish the appropriate redirection, you need two junctions:

  (1) a junction of local settings, which will transmit programs going
  %USERPROFILE%\Local settings in the new folder.

  (2) the junctions of an Application Data * inside the new folder * that points to itself, to get the programs to access the data in % userprofile%\LocalSettings\Application.

  If you think about it, it makes sense... when the program accesses local parameters, it will get passed in the folder, it should be in, however, it also accesses a folder named Application Data * in the correct folder it needs * (since it has already been redirected by the junction of local settings), so the junction of Application data should point to itself that things are working properly.

  I suggest you check the security settings on your Application data junction (C:\users\yourname\appdata\local) (you will need to select display operating system files in folder options in Explorer window).

  Go to the Security tab, click Advanced, then change and make sure that you see a refuse permission for everyone on the list.

  If it is not a list, create a 'all' and check the box under Deny next of ' read the file / data list.

  I hope this information helps. Please get back to us if you have any other questions on this subject.

• Application Data to the user folder

  In the user scripts, the application Data folder is accessible with Folder.userData

  However in the SDK, I have a hard time finding the comparative service. GetAppLocalCachedDataFolder and GetAppRoamingDataFolder in FileUtils, but I don't see who gets the root folder Application data.

  Thanks for any input.

• Shortcuts repeated unwanted "Application Data" in the data Username\Appdata\Local\Application

  1. when I click on Appdata\Local I get a list of folders, including Application data

  2. when I click on this folder, I get a single file listed: a shortcut to the Application data.

  3. when I click on this shortcut, I get complete records (data of Application Inc.) list that I saw under Local as in 1)

  4. by clicking on the folder Application Data can give me a little cut again and so on it goes!

  In the top of my Explorer I "Mike/Appdata/Local/Application Data/Application/Application Data / Application Data data/Application Data / etc etc and it just keeps going - how long? I'm not sure.

  Hello

  Step 1:

  Check if the same phenomenon occurs in another user account. To create a new user account, follow the link below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

• Is there a way I can restore my backup profile that I took from a folder (for example Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

  Before re-installing Firefox 19, I took by mistake backup my profile in a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

  When installing, I chose option "Delete old profiles" and I don't see any old folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles profile.

  However, I have a lot of important data stored under that profile that has now been deleted.

  Is there a way I can restore the old profile data? (PS: as stated above, I have a backup of the profile folder that is located under the Local Settings folder)

  I'm in a desperate need for aid. Pls reply as soon as possible.

  Firefox stores only cache files to the location of the local settings and not the files in the main folder of the Firefox profile.
  
  There is no need to save this place in local contexts in any case.

  The main folder of the Firefox profile is in "C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > change Data" on Windows XP.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you have deleted your personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox and do not have a backup then your only option is to use an undelete utility to see if you can recover this profile folder.

• whay in local settings application data folder is to consume a lot of space?

  Why the application data folder in local contexts consumes a lot of data?

  From what I've seen myself the urlclassifier3.sqlite file will be of ~ 28 000 KB to ~ 55 000 KB over time. The offline Cache is rarely used by websites to store data, and the Cache file will increase in size, until the user clears the Cache. Difficult to indicate a number of maximum on the size of the Cache size, as I have not seen 'numbers' posted (available disk space is part of authorized size) and I have not used the same profile long enough without emptying the cache to see a size max.

• The Application Data folder disappeared [not visible] _

  It's apparently still operational-[i.e. Dragon user profiles are saved it] but the folder does not appear.
  Tried a restore of the file to a temporary [in My Documents] location by using the restoration of Seagate. He restored but folder does not show it is folder then level up shows 3GB but no file is displayed when you click on it.

  Help appreciated.

  The application data folder is supposed to be a hidden folder.  Applications and the operating system use this area to store the information needed to run these applications.

  You can display it by activating the display of hidden folders:

  Double-click any folder
  Click on tools-> Folder Options-> View (tab)
  Then click on the check box "Show hidden files, folders and readers."
  "OK" your way out.

• Launch of non-functional quick toolbar. Folder of application data for this profile accidentally moved to the Cookies folder, cannot move to the right place and make quickstart functional again.

  Toolbar start fast is the only app that has problems.  I can't start him because I have no permissions.  As this occurred, the Application Data folder somehow finished in the Cookies folder for this account.  It cannot be carried over to the location appropriate without disabling the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Hi lcynicl,

  See if the paths to the shell in the registry file is correct. If this isn't the case, you may need to restore those which is incorrect. Use the table here:

• Inaccessible Application Data folder in Win7

  You want to be able to migrate customizations to an application, I need to copy a folder of Documents and Settings/user/Application name Data on my old computer to the same location on my new machine.  However, the new computer is a Win7 OS.  I myself share rights to Documents and Settings and also user name given, but I can not activate myself share the Application Datafolder.   Without that access, I can't copy folder in Application Data.

  I read that Win7 use users instead of Documents and Settings folder, so I repeated the sharing changes to users and user name , but could not make changes to sharing for the folder/Users/user/Application Data name.

  How can I copy a folder in the Application data on a pc with Win7?

  Follow these steps:

  Press on + R to open the run, type %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto in the box and press OK (including percentage symbols).

  The Application Data folder will open, ready to make you insert you need.  No right to authorize must be changed.

• Change the default location for the Application Data folder

  Hello

  I'm using SQl Developer Version 4.0.0.13 (Build HAND-13, 80) on Windows XP.

  Is there a way to change the path to the SQL Developer from C:\Documents and Settings\ < myuser > developer \Application Data\SQL files?

  Kind regards

  Vikram R

  Yes, see this post.

  Basically, you want to add this line to your sqldeveloper.conf file

  AddVMOption - Duser.home =

  And then set it in the directory you want to use.

• OK to delete the files that are: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express

  Good afternoon:

  Have recently been spotted by Windows XP Pro disk space on my C drive is low.  I reinstalled all the obvious large files (e.g., photos) on an external hard drive.  I have drilled down into individual files on the C drive to ensure other potential consumers of space. Found the folder that can be the source.

  Last year, I converted from Outlook Express (OE) for Outlook.  At this point, I rode on my e-mail and the e-mail folders in Outlook.

  I found a file in the following location that seems to contain the OE files.  I would like to know if the removal of these files of OE (~8.5 GB) impact my Outlook folder/mail e-mail before I remove them.

  The location is: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express.

  The folder contains about 8.5 GB of e-mail to OE folders more of them are dated July/August 2010.

  It is safe to assume that when I converted originally these OE e-mail/folders over to Outlook - that Outlook has caught up - and it's OK to delete these files?

  Thanks for your help.

  Cheers.

  Rick

  If you do not use OE, then Yes. It will not affect Outlook at all. Open the database messages OE, the folder that you have described, and remove all the dbx files. If you need OE once again, when you open OE, it creates new files dbx for all default folders such as Inbox, sent, etc. items.

• In Vista, application data file paths are not displayed properly, example C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data\application data\application data\application data\application data\

  I have a problem with a directory of the user.

  The path is C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data.

  Application directory data are hidden.  However, by using the command "dir / ah" will show the directory as a 'carrefour '.

  The problem is that this directory is the directory even inside himself to the seemingly infinite nesting.

  in other words.

  C:\users\skywatcher\appdata\local\application data\application data\application data\application data\application data\ etc. until that the path cannot be displayed below.

  A problem with an app I'm trying to run it.

  Y at - it a cure?

  Thank you

  These nested application data files contain any data?  If so, is it the same as that contained in the original folder?

  I would like to treat this situation as a corrupt user profile.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  When he is in the process of copy on the old profile files and folders, I first copy the folder of Application data to another location, just in case the change it causes unexpected problems - just make a copy and put it in your Documents folder for now (you can remove it later if everything works as expected). Remove the nested application data folders (unless they contain information are not not in the main folder - then I would probably copy it in the main folder, and then delete).  This, so that there is only one Application data folder.  Then copy it to the new profile.  You may have problems to access these records.  If Yes, click on properties, advanced security and check if all the user has denied access.  If so delete this entry and you should be able to work with the folder.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Access denied to Application data

  I need to move my Vista system Thunderbird e-mail files to an XP system.  On XP, I find the information in the Application data for the user in the Documents and Settings folder.  Here it is on Vista and I have to do anything special to access?

  In Vista, the Firefox data folder is C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox.  Enable the display of hidden folders to see.

  But Firefox is a web browser, not a messaging software.  The Mozilla Thunderbird mail program stores its data in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird.
