Windows 7 not showing zone files

[JDS]

Hey, resoL just sent me my badass jds.lvl map from the mapcontest in metalgear, so joyfully i went to look for it, and found that i cant see any zone files or any subspace files at all! (asside from folders)

 

is this common practice or is windows 7 just evil?

 

are there any solutions?

 

I performed a forum serch and did not come up with anything! thanks alot

WinKey + R -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Continuum

or

WinKey + R -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files\Continuum

its in your continuum folder

wherever ss.exe is

[JDS]

aye, where it should be in C://programfiles <_<

 

however all the stuff i want is in some local app data/ vitual store / program files /

 

which you cant find normaly without the fancy run command ._.

You don't necessarily have to do Winkey + R, you can also use the search text input in the start menu.

There is no way to make this folder more accessible apart from making a shortcut to this folder somewhere.

 

It might be possible to install Continuum in a different folder so all files are stored there instead in Program Files. I'm not sure though, Continuum might just store map files in the Virtual Store anyway.

[JoWie]

This behavior does not happen if you install continuum to your "Documents" folder for example.

 

Microsoft wants to force developers to use the Application Data folder instead of Program Files. The VirtualStore is a compatibility workaround for old applications.

oh good tip, damn you microsoft for b eing so sneaky

 

*reinstals somewhere more feasable* <3 you guys

If you run it as administrator it doesn't do the virtual store thing i believe.
