Just to expand a bit on what John said, The Window-Eyes program is installed in the Program Files (x86) folder, as is all 32 bit programs on 64 bit Windows. And that is where it is run from. All the program components and modules are there. The AppData profile folders are just your personal configuration folders. For example, let's say you and your wife both use Window-Eyes. You can each have your own profile with your own set files, dictionaries, apps, etc. This is why you can wipe out a profile and Window-Eyes will just create a new one using the default template, which will be built from the files in the Program Files (x86) folder.
Regards,
Tom

Larry, on my system, I have both 32 and 64 bit programs.  The 32 bit programs are installed to the x86 directory.

OK John, I'm sure that's true, but why even put it there when, as it at least appears to me, the program, WE that is, is actually run from the app data folder,  or am I some how mistaken about this. Please straighten me out on this one <smile>.
