The path to the data dirctory is listed in the Messages tab after a restart. The directory itself may be hidden by windows. If you find the file client_state.xml, you've found the data directory.

The default directory where BOINC will install the data files to is:

- Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\ (*)
- Windows Vista/Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\BOINC (*)

(*) This directory may well be hidden, so either put the path to it directly into Windows Explorer, or instruct Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders.

It is the Application Data or ProgramData directory that is hidden.
