Windows 7 Where are the user profiles ?

Thanks for the reply,

I am confused....If I open "COMPUTER" and then navigate to c:\users I do not see the menu bar you speak of........... others are telling me I must "operate" on a new user in there called PUBLIC............

here is where i am...I go to c:\users with that folder highlited I select Folder and search options from the Organize menu and then I can show hidden/systems drives/folders



now I see the all usersand stuff...wonder why my navigatioanl path is so different than what you suggest ?? I dunno ...but I now see what I need to see...thanks

You bet, glad you found it.
That's the default behavior (hiding the tool bar) you can change that also, and perhaps I should have mentioned that first.
Choose, as you did before the Organize drop down arrow and select LayOut and then click menu bar. Sorry, sometimes I assume to much.

Lol, the tool bars hidden by default has been this way since Vista, so there's more space for files and folders. Just hit "Alt" and it'll show up.

Thanks cybercore. I'm kinda embarrassed (not really) to admit that I was and still am to some extent a Vista drop out. So unfortunately I'm not too familar with some of the history regarding the UI subtleties. No disrespect to Vista, I'm sure that it was a fine OS (ultimately), but I just wasn't exposed to it much as it wasn't broadly adopted by friends, family nor my business clients so I missed out. But it made learning Win 7 even more fun and interesting.

I too have better respect for Windows 7. Well, I am just saying "Alt to show toolbars" is so obvious and there's hardly a need to mention it, unless someone never used 7 or Vista before. (So you did right not to mention the Alt key)

Got it and thanks again.
Even had to re-learn it when I installed IE9. So your reminder was much appreciated.
