Where is the MachineKeys folder in Windows 7?
In clean installation of Windows you can find it under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
In newer versions of Windows, try: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
And make sure the folders are not invisible.
