Hi Scott Windows uses the Roaming folder for application specific data, such as custom dictionaries, which are machine independent and should roam with the user profile.

Should I copy all of my roaming data, including some for programs I may no longer use? Roaming is not the answer here. Help please! I see a couple other posts here with the same problem I am having and there are no answers posted. This is wasting hours and hours of time and I need to know how to make it not happen.

Please tell me how to tell my computer not to save the hyperlinks in this folder!!!! I opened it and it is in a foreign language that I cannot read. Some of us do use roaming at home. I have both a desktop and a laptop. My desktop is in the basement office, my laptop sits beside my chair in the Family Room in the magazine rack.

Many times I do not want to go downstairs to my desktop to access or work on files. So I use my laptop. My most important files and applications, including macros, are set up identically on both computers. Then when I travel with my laptop, I have the most current files with me and the applications I need to use are configured the same. For example, I have built some macros into Excel that I need to work identically on both computers. I have to manually copy the Personal workbook over to the other computer.

What am I missing? Both computers are always on they go to sleep, but they rarely shut down , and I sign into them under the same Microsoft account. As I understand it Roaming only kicks in in corporate environments where Active Directory is used to manage all the user accounts. How do I fix this so the message will not come back? There are several Windows versions of Apple programs. A few examples are QuickTime, iTunes and Safari. This message is simply a thank you.

I have a cyber hacker that actually broke into my house and attempted to route ALL of my email accounts through a server so he could intercept them. If I read your article correctly, if this jerk logs into my computer remotely, he has access to whatever documents are in the appData file??

ANY changes to my system that I did not initiate I am seriously suspicious of. I have been using this excel spreadsheet for years and now this. This hacker has me so paranoid, I pack up my laptop and take it with me any time I leave the house but this appData sounds like he still has access.

Am I reading this correctly?? A search of Ask Leo! Hi by mistake i have deleted app folder I took backup through image but I am unable to install angular typescript.

Search Ask Leo! I just ran CCleaner and I had at least app data roaming entries, which have never appeared before when running a scan. I do not use wireless for this computer, but I do have it enabled for my iPad touch and the appdata roaming is showing all my activity on this computer. Do this Subscribe to Confident Computing!

No you cannot. Thanks, gruberg Reply. What does this mean? Can I delete the file or better still, send it to Microsoft? Try with Hindi Reply.
