Now, when I go to C:\Documents and Settings\RM on my XP install on 
VMware Player 5.0.2
there is NO "Application Data" folder, which is 'gae queer' to say the 
least.

When I make a new folder and try to call it 'Application Data' XP makes 
a funny noise and
tells me that folder already exists; so it must be hidden in some way 
(and, unlike Linux, one
cannot just go "show hidden files") . . . Aha, gottit . . . but will the 
Mummies and Daddies
who haven't a clue about computers? not exactly obvious.

On my Windows 7 install (similarly on VMware) I end up with something 
entirely different from what
you describe:

(and it took a bit of pissing around to find this)

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\RunRev\Licenses

----------------------

Does this mean that there are a number of possibilities re Windows 7 
(that's an ugly thought) ?
