Getting to hidden folders

I see quite a few posts that require a user to access a hidden folder for a fix. The following may help:
 
Windows XP Environment Variables
 
To access certain folders, try using Start, Run, then type in the line following the settings for files you want to see.

For example, if you want to see your temporary files, choose Start, Run, type %temp% and click OK

  • Outlook settings are stored in
    %appdata%\microsoft\outlook
  • Outlook files are stored in
    %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
  • Normal.dot for Microsoft Word is stored in
    %userprofile%\application data\microsoft\templates
  • Temporary files for user are stored in
    %temp%
  • Temporary files for Windows XP are stored in
    %systemroot%\temp

Using the above will help prevent users from deleting another profile's files.
