    I can't find the Application Data directory in Vista, even when I make hidden items visible. Can someone please tell me where it is, or if it has a new name. Thanks.

    Its called "ProgramData". The folder is in the root directory.

    There are also various "AppData" folders in your various "Users" folders.
