I am sorry ive been searching for while now. Both for the folder and through the forums. and i can't seem to find any help. so i need to ask for some help. i can't find my .minecraft folder. ive tried searching for it normally. Doing the %appdata% in the search and trying advanced search. I just cant seem to find it. i dont even remember minecraft asking me if it wanted to make a folder when i downloaded it. It was just the .exe file and ran right away without any set up. Oh and to help out if anyone knows i am running windows vista 64 bit. If anyone can tell me i will be very appreciative.
It automatically makes the folder, just like every other program, and it literally holds the application data of the Minecraft .exe.
As per finding it, if Search\Run\%appdata% does not show all your application data folders or if .minecraft is not in there, you may need to enable viewing for hidden folders.
Also, try going to the "Run" dialog and typing %appdata% in there.
