    Have you found appdata/local/Application Data? It’s a “conjunction point” that you can only find via the command line, and only exists for backwards compatibility. It points to appdata/… Do not EVER try to gain access over all your files in appdata/. It’ll break due to that conjunction point.

      There are symlinks in Windows all over the place for backwards compatibility. Just look at “Documents and Settings”, it’s a symlink to ”Users".

      Yet, you still have to install the same libraries with every app over and over, even though they can be shared. Why? Because Windows has no sense of default library locations, except for the things it absolutely needs to work.
