  27. Items in a User Profile • User Profiles are Located in: • C:\Users\Username or %UserProfile% • Ntuser.dat and other registry files • Contain the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive • NetHood, PrintHood, and SendTo for backward compatibility with Win XP

  28. Application Data • AppData • Application-specific data in three subfolders: • AppData\Roaming • Data which can be placed on a server to form a Roaming Profile • AppData\Local • Data that should not roam, like Temporary Internet Files • AppData\LocalLow • Internet Explorer Protected Mode data
