Guest josef Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I am working on a Win XP Pro. I have admin rights and there is a limited profile. On the limited profile desktop there is an icon for a program (program not needed to be mentioned at this time) This program points to and is in the application data folder. I did not install this program. It is not on the admin desktop nor is it in the add/remove or the program files folder. What is the Application data folder and can a limited user install a program? For now I am trying to understand this folder and am looking further into this program.
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: What is application data folder? You're referring to the system wide profile called All Users. The Application Data folder is used to store globally applicable data for programs. You'll likely find sub-folders with program names such as Adobe, Microsoft and others. All Users contains items that are shared by all profiles on the computer. Modifying any of the items found in this path apply to all account holders.
