If you’ve ever found yourself in a bind trying to free up space or troubleshoot software issues on your Windows system, you may have encountered the elusive AppData folder. This hidden gem of a directory plays a vital role in maintaining the functionality of the applications you use daily. Think...

This issue is my friend's who has spent many hours building data using non-Microsoft apps. His laptop refuses to start up into Win10. Microsoft agent says the way forward is to do a custom install on the C: drive. There are three other drives that my friend has created on his 1TB HDD. He...

Hi, What I'm looking for is not to simply change the whole userdata to another drive, but to create separate drives for each users, and have their application data, my doc, etc folders on their own drives. Sadly, from looking at environment variables though I think it's not possible.. What do...

In the first installment of this blog series we looked at the various options at your disposal to store your app’s local data. In this post we will be looking at how that local data can be shared, both between apps and users. When an app is installed, the system creates a per-user app data...

Revision Note: V1.0 (May 10, 2016): Advisory published. Summary: FalseStart allows the TLS client to send application data before receiving and verifying the server Finished message. This allows an attacker to launch a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack to force the TLS client to encrypt the first...

When thinking about your app data, one aspect to consider is data lifetime. In general, when it comes to the lifetime of data, you have two options: local data, which exists as long as the app that created it remains installed, and roaming data, that will continue existing online even after your...

Link Removed The user experience for roaming app data is similar to a magic trick. Work is done behind the scenes to create the illusion that data is moving from place to place when, in fact, all that really happens is data gets copied and destroyed, over and over. The data itself never...

Users today are mobile, transitioning from one device to the next throughout the day. Increasingly, these same users expect (or even demand) to take their data with them. Fortunately for us, roaming app data makes this a reality. Today, we kick off a two-post series that explores how to use...

Boy, am I stuck! I conducted a search for a folder and found it deep in a repeated shortcut tree in the application Data folder. The tree was - C/Programdata/applicationdata/applicationdata/applicationdata........ repeated about 15 times. Each subtree "Application Data" folder in the tree showed...

A photo program I use, Photomatix Pro, worked fine until yesterday. Now every time I try to process photos I get this (on a new computer with no memory issues) - Could not load images. Exception of type System.OutOfMemoryException’ was thrown. The answer to the problem that I’ve...

Hi, we are testing now computer running on Windows 7 with roaming profiles. I have problem which I couldn't find anywhere (possible bad keywords). It's not only one computer - at least 5 new installed computers have this issue. Problem is that whenever I want pin some shortcut from start menu...

In an XP/Windows 7 dual-boot system, Windows 7 Explorer tells me that a number of folders in the W7 C disc (such as Cookies, Documents, Application Data, etc.) are "not accessible" and that "access is denied". What could have triggered this problem, and what can I do to eliminate it? P.S. I...

My system drive is 63GB - yes GB... All that's on there is Windows 7 64-bit, and my applications. Data is elsewhere, cache files are elsewhere..... At this moment there's 420KB free on the drive... So, I started looking for what honking big bunch of garbage is eating this thing. Searching...

Hello, I have a new laptop and wish to transfer autocomplete list for Outlook from my old PC. Microsoft support pages only have help for XP & Vista! Anyway, I (think I!) found the Outlook application data folder (where I suspect NK2 *should* be!) and found that there isn't an NK2 folder...

You had good reason to stick with XP and skip the Vista experience entirely. But now that the folks at Microsoft have created a new operating system that's worth moving to, they haven't made the upgrade easy, because you have to perform a clean install of the OS. Here are the issues you need to...
