Hello,

I'm using MSIE 6 on win2K. When I download a file
from the web, I want to be able to browse to hidden
folders (whose name starts with a dot "."). Is there
a way to turn on visibility of these folders in the
download dialogue box? Thanks.

Fred

If you enable the "show hidden files and folders" option in Folder Options, these hidden files will show up in the download dialog box.

I don't suppose one could activate visibility just for the
download, and do so via the download view of the folder?

As far as I know you cannot enable "show hidden files and folders" only for downloads. You would have to manually go into the folder options each time you want to turn this feature on/off.
