So it doesn't look like a permissions issue if that is how yours shows.

If you un-install Minion and re-install it do you get the EULA screen you have to agree to? If you don't there is a .minion folder somewhere on your system just not in the place where it is for most.

Minion stores the .minion folder using the java user.home path and maybe thats set differently on your system?

EDIT:

Can you check these locations?:

C:\.minion
C:\Users\.minion
C:\Users\All Users\.minion

Also if you go to "My computer" and double click your C: drive try searching for the term ".minion". Then do the same for any other hard drives and see if you can find a result.
