In Windows XP the local settings folder was usually located under \Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings (assuming you have shown hidden files checked) so you might expect the Windows 7 location to be \Users\username\Local Settings – however this is now a shortcut and clicking on the shortcut brings up an error “Location is not available”.
The actual location for the equivalent local settings folder is now \Users\username\AppData\Local
