Hi Ian. That is a valid consideration. The new installer does put a shortcut in the Start Menu to that folder, but you're right that the inability to simply navigate to the data_dir via Explorer could be a bit awkward. Do you have an alternate placement suggestion, or do you think we should leave things as is?
