Well I've transferred the files over now, I had a habit of opening the metaeditor directly and this seems to be the reason behind my files not being saved into the MetaTrader folder.

Last night my metatrader crashed and would not stop showing the "not responding message", so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, only to find that my experts and indicators were missing, this didn't worry me too greatly because as a rule I always save me EAs in another file, what bothers me is having to load my files back up.
When trying to investigate this issue, I found that my own projects were saved in ...appdata\roaming\ MetaQuotes........ why are they saved in appdata?
I don't usually run my metaeditor with admin privileges, is this the cause? Oddly enough I can still access my docs when I click metaeditor, but I can't access them if I click metaeditor via metatrader, this is the first time I have had a persistently malfunctioning MT4.
I would like to get my docs back onto metaeditor especially since I am working on an indicator and I am in the middle of testing it..
If anyone has any advice I would be much obliged if you share it, thanks.
