I have gone to Windows Explorer and Folder Options both and checked show

hidden files, but I still can't see hidden files/folders in Windows

Explorer. If I use a third party program like FreeCommander, I can see the

hidden stuff just fine.

 

 

Perplexed,

Dan

    Please don't double post as there are many users who don't like it & start

    throwing their toys around.

    Did you also un-check "Hide protected operating system files"?

    My apologies. Norton reported that the first message had not been sent.

    Hence the second post.

     

    Polite,
