In Windows 7, click the <strong>Organize</strong> button in the ribbon and select <strong>Folder and search options</strong>. From here, click on the <strong>View</strong> tab. Look in the box for a folder icon saying <strong>Hidden files and folders</strong>, beneath it make sure the radio button labelled <strong>Show hidden files, folders and drives</strong> is selected and <em>not</em> <strong>Don't show hidden files, folders and drives</strong>. Click OK and you have gotten that part taken care of. Now navigate to root on your Windows install drive (usually C:) and select the <strong>Users</strong> folder. Then select the folder with your username as its title. Once in that folder you should now see <strong>AppData</strong> at the top of the folder contents. It will be translucent, as it is a hidden folder normally for some awful reason. From here, the rest of the path should be as listed. 9 times out of 10, it is the hidden folders not being visible that leads to problems installing presets on Vista and 7. I never, ever have hidden files or folders on my Windows PC's, so I neglected to mention that fact. Okay, this can be annoying.

I just got Windows7. I don't have the AppData listed under C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings. There is no such path....do you know why there woudn't be? I'm going crazy trying to install my presets! I can go to C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\....then either to Adobe Bridge or Photoshop...but there is no Camera Raw!
