I'm not sure I see the point of this article as it is currently. If it's meant to be a hand-holding way to get Windows users to their profile folder, there are too many options and technical terms. If not, I don't see how it differs from the current profile folder application-specific articles with the exception of the screenshots.--[[User:Np|Np]] 14:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The point of this article

I'm not sure I see the point of this article as it is currently. If it's meant to be a hand-holding way to get Windows users to their profile folder, there are too many options and technical terms. If not, I don't see how it differs from the current profile folder application-specific articles with the exception of the screenshots.--Np 14:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

We can link to this article when we want to give Windows users details on finding the profile folder or searching for hidden files and folders when an application-specific article doesn't exist (Sunbird) or isn't appropriate, for example, the bookmarks article. Adding screenshots was an afterthought. Alice 21:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
If this is for applications that don't have their own application-specific articles, why are there sections on Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey? People reading Bookmarks are going to be on Firefox, maybe SeaMonkey. I think we can assume that anyone who's not on one of those two will be able to deal with whatever generic information we put in Profile folder.--Np 21:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
