Addendum:
Just a comment on Downloads: I hate downloading something, and then have to go looking for it, which I have to do on most of my customer's PC's. Since downloads are usually done through a Browser (I use Firefox), it's fairly easy to tell the browser where to put downloads. I prefer to just have it put them on my Desktop, where I can find them easily and then I can decide what to do with them. I do the same with my download manager, "Internet Download Manager". Life's a lot simpler with just a little 'Preparation'. Cheers Mates! ![]() |

What is the purpose of the AppData/Roaming folder? I'm running Win7 x64 and noticed I was down to the last 7 GB of storage on my 120GB app disk. I've only got about 50 GB of apps so it looked like something was amiss.
