Am attempting to begin a PBEM using Windows 7 and the 1.16 RC 4a patch and the save game files aren't showing up in the Save folder. I loaded AACW in the Program Files folder and the Save folder is in the AACW folder but it is empty even though I also have a game going against the AI.
Where do the save files go?
I did a search on this but couldn't find the answer.
Regards,

Thank you, Nikel.
I did a search on my hard drive, which I should have done before posting (impatient fellow am I
) and found it in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\AGEod's American Civil War\ACW\Saves

OK, I know my way around computers a bit, but this is frustrating.
The save games files are on the hard drive, but when I try to attach the .trn file in an email I can't locate the folder.
I see c:\users\my name\ but there is no AppData folder per the attached screen shot.
Can anyone help me out?

Eureka! I figured it out by resorting to the magic of the internet.
Perhaps this will help someone else in the future:
Additional note: you were not seeing it because it is a HIDDEN system folder. You can view these by opening Windows Explorer (to any folder), then pressing ALT on the keyboard (to show the Menu Bar), then click Tools, then Folder Options. Click the View Tab, then select the "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" Radio Button, and click OK.
