Where are the words added to Dictionary Stored?

Have you even wondered where the words are stored after being added to dictionary? Well I know exactly where those words (Those added to dictionary) are stored in Windows® 7, Windows® 8 and Windows 8.1.

The things you have to do are:-
·         Boot your Computer with an Administrator account
·         Go To Computer/ This PC (In Windows 8.1)
·         Click on View/ Organize
·         Click on Options/ Folder and search options
·         Folder Options will come, Click on View Tab

·         Click on OK
·         Press  + R, Run will appear.
·         Type ‘Appdata
·         Double Click ‘Roaming
·         Double Click ‘Microsoft
·         Double Click ‘UProof’. This folder contains the notepad which stores the Added words
·         Double Click ‘CUSTOM’. This the notepad file which contains all the added words

A notepad file will open which contains all the words which are added to dictionary!!!

Note:-
·         Do not delete or move (Cut) any file or folder from that Directory.

·         ‘UProof’ folder will not be present if you have not yet added any work(s) to the Dictionary.
