How do I make the AppData folder visible so I can look at the files in that folder? Sorry for such a newbie question. Windows XP has been my friend for a long time...

Good to know you have a new PC. Smile

It's almost in the same way you do at XP. Start Windows Explorer and hit the ALT key. That will show up the usual File menu. Look for Tools->Folder options.
I would try to describe the process, but someone already did that. So, take a look at this link: Windows 7: Folder Options - Open
In the Folder Options I think you already know what you can do in it, but in Hidden files and folders set it to "Show hidden files, folders or drivers" that should be enough.
