Hi Ken,
In addition to the "Show Hidden File and Folders", there is, a couple of
lines down, another checkbox for "Hide Protected Operating System Files"
which needs to be UNchecked to view certain files. You will get a warning,
but it hurts nothing to view them. Click "Apply" then look again. This may
help. This is not a box you want to leave unchecked all the time, though.
When you are finished, it would be good to re-check the "Hide..."

Subject: [PCSOFT] Folders are hidden
Cannot not see 'hidden' folders
Windows XP Media edition SP2:
In searching for a folder to make a program change, I discovered that
folder was nowhere to be seen -- in fact there were 10 folders in that
parent folder which were hidden. I went to files/folders and made sure
that all folders were to be seen -- it was already that way.
I discovered I can see these folders when using a photo program. I was
able to make my program changes within that program.
I can only guess that each of the hidden folders have been marked
"hidden" and hence they are not displayed.
Question: How can I open the properties of a hidden folder when I can't
even see it. No, I can't get to the folder properties in the photo
program. No help through MS.
Thanks and blessings,
Ken
