    Id just like to add that whoever started sending game files to the hidden part of documents should be shot. How hard is it to just make a Games folder and a Games Save folder?

      Steam games need to store save files in the same library location as the game, using a sub folder that maps to the steam account name. Stop filling up the app data folder for the operating system account that is running steam. My C drive is full, go away.

        Also, Windows doesn’t allow writing to files to in Program folders… So let’s put everything that needs RAM into that directory! But not the save files, those are hidden 7 layes deep in MyAss/hidden/hidden/almost there/hidden/docs/maybe save files.

        My steam games are all installed on an external SSD so I can put those distractions out of reach. I can’t imagine ever going back.

      You mean /Users/username/AppData? The folder where all applications store their user-specific data?

        I don’t mind the location; but it’s annoying being hidden by default. Trying to direct people to it can be a pain sometimes.

        (though ‘run’ > ‘%appdata%’ usually works)
