I have both Sonic and Nero for the CD burning. On QuickBooks specifically, it saves in a CD Burning file, when I look at the path it is going to it says C:\Documents and Settings\(my name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning....but I can not find "Local Settings or anything beyond that when looking at Windows Explorer.

The "Local Settings" folder is a hidden folder.

Open "My Computer" click on "Tools" then "Folder Options", then click the tab labeled "View" and make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is checked or ticked.

Click the "Apply" button, then click "OK" and you'll see hidden files and folders in a lighter shaded text from files and folders that are not hidden.

Tech support said something about CD burning should pop up as a shortcut thing on my desktop and ask me if I want to transfer it to a CD, but I could not find anything like that?

Ok, now I see that, guess "Application Data" is a hidden file too. Is this to keep people like me who are clueless about computers from messing up something I should not? But, why would a program send a file to a hidden location to be transferred to a CD? Makes no sense to me?

since it is not working from here anyway, guess I should "hide" them again so I dont accidentally mess up something? How do I go about that?
