Hello all. I was trying to make a user account and I did that
successfully except the folder only had some dat and ini files in it. I
made sure it was admen and such but I didn't see the application data or
anything else in there. What did I do wrong? Thanks.
 
Hi there Marrie,

The account hasn't been logged into yet, do the default user profile hasn't
been created. Log in with that account and you should see all of those
folders appear.

Hope this helps!

As Will said. Also, not the the "Application Data" folder is hidden by
default.

Hmm. I don't know if my screen reader will even work with out those folders.
in there. Freedom had the nerve to change some settings and, Well, I'm not
going to go there at the moment, but I'll try it with narrator and see if
that works.
 
I have my system set to show all folders so I'll look after I attempt to log
in using narrator.

Ok, I tried to log in to my new account last night and lost speech so I have
no idea if I was successful. Oh btw I'm visually impaired.
