→MS Windows: note the change in Windows User Directory path for Gramps 5.2
The default '''User Directory''' location for any Gramps user data on a Windows 7 (and newer) system is
C:\Users\'''''<~username>'''''\AppData\RoamingLocal\gramps
The '''''<~username>''''' in the above filepath is a placeholder for the particular user name chosen when logging into Windows.
Alternately, you can leverage the '''%AppDataLocalAppData%''' [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#APPDATA environment variable] to avoid dealing the complications of active user names. Although Gramps will not recognize Environment Variables for paths internally, you can use them within Windows to find Gramps user files. The '''Gramps user directory''' path above is simplified to: %LocalAppData%\gramps{{man note|The User Directory has relocated in version 5.2|The default '''User Directory''' location for any 5.1.x and earlier version of Gramps user data on a Windows 7 (and newer) system is: <br /> <code> C:\Users\'''''<~username>'''''\AppData\Roaming\gramps</code><br /> <code> %AppData%\gramps</code>}}
<hr />
Like the '''User Directory''', the location for programs/applications is also hidden from browsing with Windows Explorer.
