Q: The System Information report shows a Data Location that includes ProgramData, but I can't find the folder. Where is it?
A: The standard data location is:
C:\ProgramData\RTG\RTG Bills\
This is the standard data location for RTG Bills and RTG Timer (starting with Version 2.17) when the data is not shared on a network.
Unfortunately, the ProgramData folder is hidden. (This is Microsoft's design, not RTG's!)

How to View Hidden Folders
Windows 11:
Open File Explorer and choose:
View > Show > Hidden items
Windows 8 & 10:
Open File Explorer and click the View tab, then check the Hidden items checkbox.
Windows 7:
From the Start Menu, click Computer, then double-click the C drive. Then, from the menu in the Explorer window, choose:
Organize > Folder and search options > View
In the list of Advanced settings, select:
Show hidden files, folders, and drives
Click OK.

Now that you can see the ProgramData folder, navigate to the RTG Bills folder by double-clicking each portion of the path:
ProgramData > RTG > RTG Bills
One solution to finding the folder more easily (after you find it the first time) is to right-click on the RTG Bills folder and choose Create Shortcut (or Show more options > Create shortcut). Then move the shortcut somewhere convenient, perhaps onto your Desktop.
