Documents is older that AppData. Not as old as Games, but, well, older, so it is the classical solution. Also, before games became online focussed, if you wanted to take your save games with you, you would need to copy them into a floppy from the file explorer, and well, AppData is a HIDDEN FOLDER, so pretty hard to do for a kid, specially before internet, so you couldn't google it and watch a youtube video showing you exactly how to do it.

I really hate how windows apps throws garbage around like this. I want to back up saved games? Maybe it’s in program data, maybe it’s attached to the launcher, maybe it’s in your my documents folder under the game dev’s name. Maybe the “My Games” folder that not every game used. Maybe the setting you are looking for isn’t a file. But a registry value. I started to use Linux VMs for everything that isn’t gaming related just to keep my windows install fresh. Windows store apps did solve this problem but no dev is going to use it.

I was a developer for a drawing app and I chose to use the roaming folder to store the user's app settings. If the user uses a Microsoft account for logging into the computer, their settings get synched across all computers that they use with the same login credentials. So if they defined a custom color on one machine it would be available on all the other machines they login to.

%APPDATA% is roaming, because it was so in Windows NT 4/2000 times, and the Local came later inside that folder as "application data\local" with the rule to not sync. At first NT4 synced everything even the users temp folder, and then they realized it was a bad idea, so local and some domain settings were added to exclude the Local folder. The really clear seperation with Roaming and Local then came with the so-called "User Profiles V2", which came with Vista and Windows Server 2008.

Well how it is written on the Microsoft website it is "levels of permission" not "levels of integrity". Unless they went up and changed terms for no reason at all. There are 8 or so levels that a developer can use with 1 above what he called "installer". Usually the one that i know how to use above installer is flashing the hardware which overwrites everything with the version being flashed on to it. Most users never do this. Most users shouldn't ever do this. You do need hardware access on a powered off state of the hardware at the start of it to do it. It also can screw over the entire machine if it goes bad or if you put the 1 into the place of a 0. The level of permission he is most likely talking about is when you get into scripting then ask for and have the correct permission level to be granted internal system configurations. I am unsure why you would need permission above system and you rarely need to use system as admin is able to do most and usually you want to use user if you can. Using below user is a pain but in scripts you can do that on an account with less permissions than user level access has. You also want to have the least access granted that you need to run.

There's also a folder in the Local folder of AppData called VirtualStore that's used for legacy programs that try to save their configuration/preference files to Program Files (or any other non user directory) when the program doesn't have administrator privileges.

Within a Windows domain network, you can have two types of users - standard user and roaming user. The idea is that you are either someone working from within your machine that is specifically assigned to you or you are someone who frequently has to login on a bunch of different machines. For that, you have the Local and Roaming folders - the Roaming folder gets synced across the domain to every computer you log in, if you are a roaming user. This is a practice many businesses have, even though it is deprecated. A great example of a roaming user could be that you are logging into your university's or work's Remote Desktop Services machines, where there are multiple identical servers and you get assigned one randomly to log in to. You would prefer your programs to behave in the same manner all the time, wouldn't you? But I stress this again - roaming users are a deprecated feature, and as for Remote Desktop Services, there is software solution called FSLogix that makes sure that your user profile behaves nicely with all the RD servers.

@ further, it is also discouraged by Microsoft. Microsoft now recommends using folder redirection to put %appdata% (i.e. roaming) on a network share so that reads / writes go out across the network to the filestore as needed rather than everything in the user profile¹ at login / logoff (which is a significant issue for any organisation with a bulk of users doing a 9-5 day). ¹ Not explicit in this video is all the other user folders that synced at login / logoff for roaming domain profiles: Documents, Videos, Music, Favourites etc.

Try not to delete files unless you know it’s not going to be used. I did that once and the program couldn’t find a certain file to continue.

I worked for an international company with 65k users and they used roaming profiles. This was back in early when Windows 2000 was new. While convenient when it works it also caused lots of issues. Sometimes the profile would become corrupt and had to be reset. But the biggest issue was that it could increase logon times significantly. Basically the roaming profile is stored on a network share and then pulled down to the client they are login on to. Some times users profiles were HUGE and it could literally take two hours before they were logged on, especially on remote offices with slow WAN-links. Fun times.

For applications that elect to use both Local and Roaming, the typical layout is to put disposable "cache" type data in Local, and to use Roaming for actual explicit program settings/information that the user themselves might care about. This has the added benefit of not bloating out Roaming with data that can be safely discarded when synchronizing between machines.

I've always treated the local folder as "disposable or easily replaceable stuff." Browser cache, Outlook OST file, etc. Roaming is often user custom stuff that would suck if it were lost.

You should use the correct API-Calls to get the folder as it may be changed with some MS version or installation settings.

5:26 I recall if you're not part of a domain, the roaming folder is still there, the domain is just set to your microsoft account. thats how some windows 10 settings are carried, for example, if you set a wallpaper while logged in to your microsoft account on your desktop, the wallpaper image is put in the roaming folder of your desktop which is linked to your microsoft account. Then when you setup a new windows 10 installation, and login to your microsoft account, that roaming folder is carried from your old pc and copied to the roaming folder on your new pc.

Thank you, after all these years I now finally know!

Even after uninstalling, many applications will have leftover files all over the place.
