When browsing to a location on your PC in OS, where can the Appdata folder be located???
I'm trying to set a path for a new program, and there is no "search" option so I can't copy and paste the link...

This is really an annoying "feature" of the newer versions of Windows. I'm used to having control over the computer and OS that I paid for. Oh well, to your question. In both Vista and Windows 7, I get to "my" AppData folder by:

Start button -> [user] -> [user folder] -> AppData.

....select "Roaming", then "Microsoft" after you have made that App folder visible through control panel settings.

letsgetrowdy,

This is the way I would do it...using Vista....


Start button -> [user] -> [user folder] -> AppData.

..like ColoKent said this folder has to be made "visible" first through the Control Panel, and I'm gonna assume you alreaady know how to get there and how to use Windows Explorer...
