by typing:

CD "C:\Users\<logon/user name>\local settings\"

but if you are looking for the appdata folder, then change the "local settings" with "appdata"

sorry the above may actually bomb out on you, meaning since that is a protected area, Windows may not allow you to CD into that location...

instead try the following:

CD C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local

They dont work

I need to get in c:\users\<username>\ local settings\apps\2.0

How do i get though first in local settings. Thats the problem.
I only remember cd l something but dont remember and I ve tried the above also before but still doesnt work.

In Windows 7 the 'Local Settings' folder no longer exists, it has been moved to C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local. What you see as 'Local Settings' is actually a junction (a link) to C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local.

Type CD %LOCALAPPDATA% to get the the equivalent of the 'Local Settings' folder, or CD %APPDATA% to get to the equivalent of the 'Application Data' folder.

Thank you for the information,It works!
But how can I get the following:

c:\users\<username>\ local settings\apps\2.0 ???
I need access on the above in order to install a printer driver.

Append the path after "local settings" to CD %LOCALAPPDATA% eg:

CD %LOCALAPPDATA%\apps\2.0

Anything that tries to access 'C:\Users\<username>\Local Settings\apps\2.0' will be redirected to 'C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\apps\2.0'.

Type:
CD %LOCALAPPDATA%\apps\2.0

If that doesn't work, type:
CD %APPDATA%\apps\2.0

Thank both of you! It works!

Just a last question, before accessing apps/2.0 how can i get to regsvr32?

 

[Nelviticus]

It should be in your path so you can just type regsvr32 on the command line.

If you want to find the exe, it should be in %WINDIR%\System32.

It would be the same context for vista?

 

[Nelviticus]

Yes.
