Re: appdata-local-Application Data-Application Data-Application Data infinitum ad nauseum. WHY

Right, it is a recursive mess. My point is that in order to resolve it you
need to figure out what software on your system is trying to make a 'real'
folder out of it (as it is a designated system shortcut, this is not
possible). The properties of the folders, or the lowest level one, might
give clues.

Another thought is to run process explorer and see what software is
accessing that location:

That's a new one on me, just where in properties does it tell you what
created
something ?
