Where do I put Minecraftlauncher.exe?

I accidentally moved Minecraftlauncher.exe out of its original folder and I'm not sure what folder to put it back into.
Can someone check on their computer what folder Minecraftlauncher.exe is in?
Best Answer
Wherever you want to. It doesn't actually matter, Minecraft always stores its data in the same place, %APPDATA%/.minecraft
. (Or ~/.minecraft
, if you're on Linux.)

The launcher is in the following path on my computer and on many others:
- Windows 7/8/8.1:
C:/Users/(your user name)/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/launcher
- Windows XP (or perhaps even older):
C:/Documents and settings/(your user name)/AppData/.minecraft/launcher
Note: C:
is the default system partition. If your computer has a different system partition,replace C:
with the corresponding letter. You can also run Minecraft no matter where the launcher is.
