    Did you know you could type in an environment variable, such as %APPDATA% into Windows Explorer's address bar? It works. I tried it on a lark, and wa-la! it worked! Just sharing.

        I have always (well since win2k possibly NT4) used that for %TEMP% and %SYSTEMROOT% but I can see how %APPDATA% would be useful.
