    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    The default location is C:\Windows\CSC - if it is not there you or some one else has moved it.

    Even if you find it you will be unable to access it without following the instructions given in post #2 here

    C:\Window\CSC is the path (or route) to the folder - open Windows Explorer - in the left hand pane (column) expand C:\ by double clicking on it - then double click on Windows and look down the list of folders for CSC. See attached screenshot - from Windows 7, but Vista will be the same or similar. I've never run Vista :)

    Would be interesting to know why you want to find and or access that folder.

    If the CSC folder is not in the Windows directory I have no idea why not or where it may have gone. I suggest you search for CSC and see what comes up.

    You do know .....
    or are you referring to something entirely different?

    As I posted earlier ....
    An answer would be helpful.

    Actually, im playing a l4d 2 games.. a zombie killing games.. somehow, im having a random crashing to the desktop by any times when i am playing the game.. so, i decided to search the net for solution. and the net says, i should have search for the CSC folder and right click on the property and so and so... thats the exact reason for me by searching this folder.. XD

    Are you playing this game online? If not I don't see the connection between it and Offline files, but then I am not a gamer.

    Can you post the URL where you got this advice re. CSC folders.

    That's clear enough :)

    As I have never used Vista I don't know how closely Win 7 resembles it, but try ....

    Orb (Start) > type Offline Files into the search box > Enter

    You may see a reference to Offline Files under Control Panel - click on it which may bring up the dialogue box shown below.

    Check that Offline Files is enabled.

    Don't give up yet :) I'll ask one of our Team Members familiar with Vista to take a look at this thread.

    There is no /CSC folder in Vista (by default), as noted by Pete, this is a folder associated with Offline Files and folders, and this feature is only available in the Business, Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Vista.
