My guess would be \AppData\Local\Temp, but keep in mind they may not be .txt files. Word for instance when doing autosaves generates .tmp files, so if notepad is using a similar mechanism then it may also be using a similar naming scheme.

I would like to know the full list of variables that I can use in Windows Explorer or related relative paths that is accepted by Windows 10. Variables like %appdata ...

I would suggest moving AppData back to its place, hoping that you have not damaged any sensible folder permissions. If the instability is not fixed, Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.

Many of our users have great difficulty locating these folders, as they are hidden by default, & the instructions to reveal them are fairly confusing to a beginner. To be able to give them a 'URL' link to click that would open their own %appdata% & %localappdata% would be a boon.

I want to use the "reset" function in Windows 10 (choosing to keep personal files). Which personal files will be kept? I am especially wondering if the settings of other applications (in %appdata% will be kept).
