The Windows Operating Systems goes to some effort to protect its mot valuable items, the programs, Apps, and files that actually operate your computer. One of the tools it uses is to hide folders so that a casual user can't break them.

The single file and separate folder that comprise our programs' brains and brawn are typically stored in just such a hidden location. The program itself is stored in Microsoft>Word>Startup, which is itself housed in the hidden Roaming folder located at CDrive>Users>(UserName)>AppData>Roaming.

Our programs maintain there own operating files, which DO NOT include your forms or documents and that SHOULD NOT be opened, are stored in a folder named TheFormTool, also resident in the AppData folder.

WARNING: Manually modifying the program files is likely to break the program.
