{{new|5.2.0}}
Alternately, you can leverage the '''%LocalAppData%''' [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#APPDATA environment variable] to avoid dealing the complications of active user names. (We've chosen to use the username Environment Variable in the documentation for Windows rather than '''''<~username>''''' used for documenting other OSes.) 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|⚡''User Directory relocated {{new for version |5.2.0''}}|'''The User Directory has relocated in version 5.2'''<br />The default '''User Directory''' location for the 5.2 version of Gramps user data on a Windows 7 (and newer) system is: <br /> <code> C:\Users\'''''%username%'''''\AppData\Local\gramps</code><br /> <code> %LocalAppData%\gramps</code><br />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.
