Hello,

files are located in

..\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts

for MT5 somewhere below

...\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075\MQL5\Experts

Dear MT4 creators, what is the purpose of this "hide the stuff" policy ?

Are you about to confuse the user, to steal his time using your software ??

Security is nice, but not with that productivity drawdown.

 
It's a UAC issue . . .
 

If you see on your navigator experts with a symbol for it Yellow/blue colored then there is a .mq4 file

With the MetaEditor you can use also a navigator This is also showing you the sourcefiles you have on your MT4

 
You can also use save as in meta-editor and save it to your desired location I think.
