The last folder named Lagoon Nebula is empty.
However, on a search it turns up, but in a file path I can't seem to locate.
Here's where a search puts it:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Astronomy Software and drivers\ASIGN Astrophotos\LagoonNebula5May2013
I get as far as C:\Users\user
What's this Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualSto re\?
Very frustrating.

This is Win7's workaround for normal users not having write permission to the directory trees starting at "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Program Files (x86)". Files under VirtualStore are treated as if they were in the path you can't write.
%APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local will be LOCALAPPDATA) are hidden directories. You either have to turn on "show hidden files and directories" or use the /a option to dir to see them.
If you
Code:
cd "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Astronomy Software and drivers\ASIGN Astrophotos\LagoonNebula5May2013"
you should get there. The quotes are required.
