When I try to go into the windows run box and put in %localappdata%, I get the question of what do I want to use to open this? It gives me some options and none of them are opening up the right area of the files. Anyone have a solution for me? I had this computer fixed a while back so it may not be the same as a normal machine now. Thanks for any advice.
