Used for questions relating to the user application data folders. Topics should be related to the use of the Windows APPDATA or USERPROFILE environment variables.

Windows Environment Variables

Environment variables are mainly used within batch files, they can be created, modified and deleted for a session using the SET command. To make permanent changes, use SETX

Variables can be displayed using either SET or ECHO.

Variables have a percent sign on both sides: %ThisIsAVariable%

Standard (built-in) Environment Variables include the following:

ALLUSERSPROFILE   C:\ProgramData
APPDATA           C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming
LOCALAPPDATA      C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local
USERPROFILE       %SystemDrive%\Users\{username}
                  This is equivalent to the $HOME environment variable in Unix/Linux
