New folder for "Fav Sys Fldr": Application Data

I'm finding myself going to "C:\Documents and Settings\Hallgren\Application Data" much more often lately, since it seems I've now got a number of appl that store 'stuff' there...for example, at the moment, I've got 37 entries in that path.

And as it is similar in nature to other folders that are built-in available via "Favorites>Favorite System Folders", I'd suggest adding it there (for current user) to make it easily accessable by anyone, even those who don't use the Catalog, and also so that I don't have to have standard fixed entries in Cat leaving that screen space for custom entries.

For instance, there is already an menu item for "System" which is just a sub-folder to "Windows" that also has a menu item, but there is no present predefined entry that I see that gets me to App Data.

I agree, this would be useful.

Simply create a Favorite or UDC to %appdata%. :)

Ok, but it would still actually be more convenient for me to have it built-in to "Special System Folders"...so whenever you're in that area of code, remember this wish, ok?

:D Thanks! Because I already, now and then, have thought that it's there and go to that menu and then remember/realize that it's not...simply because it's so similar in type/function to the other entries currently there.
