    or just browse to your folder, a.k.a.

    c:\users\akwit

    and then click in the adressbar on the right, and add \AppData to it, press enter, and there you are. no need to show, and no chance to forget to hide.

    Quick open of AppData:
    Win key + type: shell:appdata + ENTER
    It will get you to C:\Users\<ACCOUNT NAME>\AppData\Roaming
