Visual Studio file opener doesn't show all of the folders
I have a web application that generates some files on the fly to debug in this URI:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Company
When I want to open those files with visual studio, I can't see that folder!
I'm wondering why I see different folders when I open it from Visual Studio!
I tried these:
- Opening Visual Studio as Administrator didn't help.
- Giving everyone full access to the "Company" folder didn't help.
- Changing the folder's owner also didn't help.
- I opened the same folder with other applications like Notepad, and I can see all of the folders.
- I tried different versions of Visual Studio (ex: 2012, 2017) but I have the same problem.
Solution
As Hans said in his comment:
Visual Studio is a 32-bit process. On a 64-bit OS it is subject to the File System Redirector. A workaround is to navigate to c:\windows\sysnative instead.
