    Hi.


    It seems like such a simple thing, but I can't find the actual app files on my Windows disc, and it's incredibly annoying!

    I'm running 8.1 on my Mac. I am trying to use a program called Cold Turkey to limit access to certain applications at certain times, and to do this I need to navigate to the program files to select them.

    I've been trying for a long time, but I cannot find my program files in Windows 8.1. I tried in "Local Disk (C:)", in both Program Files and Program Files (x86), and they weren't there. I tried in "Home on 'psf' (Z:), under both Applications and Applications (Parallels), and they weren't there either.

    Thanks for any help.

    Zachary
