The documentation says %APPDATA%, not $APPDATA$. That's a system variable that you can use in the explorer or a command prompt, that will tell you where it the directory on your machine (you could alternatively look at Windows documentation to get the same answer). It seems to have frequently changed across Windows versions, which is why we can't document where it actually is.
