    This is the “appdata” folder, this is where all the application’s data goes.

    So whats the “Programs” folder then?

    This is also where the application’s data and files go.

    But I thought thats the “Programs x86” folder.

    This is also where the application’s data and files go.

    Ok whats “Program Files” then?

    This is also where the application’s data and files go.

    So my config file is in either one if those 4?

    No thats in the “Documents” folder, obviously.

    Windows program data file structure has always been the wild west.

      Don’t forget about the hidden ProgramData directory at the root of the file system. Ableton Live likes to install there for some ungodly reason.
