You can find the appdata folder with this code:

```

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

This will return a string like "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data". A little example code of how you can use this:


var appdata : String;
appdata =System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);    
var data = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(appdata+"/myunitygame/saves/file1.save");

```
