Hello there!

I followed the instruction as close as possible. But as soon as I want to run the execution command to find and open the folder when typing %APPDATA%\GIMP into the dialog and press enter, It says: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\qpex_AppData\Roaming\GIMP'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

I tried to find the folder manually, but even so, the folder for GIMP software is not showing up within the App Data folder. I don't know if there are special permissions I need to overwrite and make the folder show up? Or what else should I be trying?

TIA for reading and helping!
