context is that it’s a folder on Windows that isn’t shown by default so you have to open the “run” menu then type it in. Like a cheatcode for a computer.
or at least that’s how it felt the first time I found it when I was like 12 trying to find my Minecraft screenshots
First thing I have done since… Forever, basically, when installing Windows is to have it show me hidden files and folders in Explorer.
FYI: You also don’t need to use Run to get there. You could just type %appdata% into the address bar in Explorer. Unless that’s also now hidden by default… 🤔 I am still using Windows 10 and have zero experience with 11.
I do this as well. Also i normally just go to the location then hit the bar and type in appdata at the end to proceed. Same with programdata.
Or turn on “Show hidden files” in Explorer settings and just go to that folder, since it’s just a hidden folder in the user directory
Eleven is one better than ten.
So it’s better at sucking by 1?
The enshittification has been turned up to eleven.
And here I am, on Linux, with a custom-defined shortcut key to toggle showing hidden files…
Cause you need to switch between seeing and not seeing them every day?
What a useless shortcut thb.
Don’t wanna scroll past 17
.foodirectories in/home/zarobibefore seeing any actual folders lol. I’ve had to mess around with hidden directories like once a month maxSorting them to the end might be a good option?
.is sorted earlier than most other characters in my GUI unfortunately. I wouldn’t enjoy a reverse alphabetical ordering either. I don’t really see a problem with turning on/off hidden files as needed
