I am not usually a Windoze user. I am trying to install some batch processing for a friend. I am stalled at the dialogue (see screenshot) to give the BIMP installer the location of the GIMP folder.

GIMP was installed fresh from the MS AppStore. After search for 30+ minutes on the SEO destroyed google search I discovered it is at
C:\Users\someuser\AppData\Roaming\GIMP Seems to be preferred location for installs now?? So the advice inthe BIMP is likely Out of date (those bastard middle-manager satisficing their small behinds)

My question is how to I find this hidden folder "AppData" (which appear to have no .dot) from within the BIMP installer dialogue???
