Nihility Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Because that's not a folder, it's a hard link. A link that looks like a folder for compatibility purposes.The folder is named AppData in Vista/7.Look inside the Roaming Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihility Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 cheers, nice of them to confuse for the only reason of confusionI think it was done to consolidate the server and desktop version into one compatible build.While they were at it they got rid of the too long name the old one had.They did have the sense to put the shortcut icon on it so it's actually possible to figure out what the heck they did there. If you really really really want to click on that shortcut you can do it by giving yourself permissions to it in the usual way. Currently it's set to system only so programs looking for it can find it (badly coded programs, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
