2000 - XP Upgrade unable to see any files

[Guest]

Hi Ho all, can you help me out.

I have a user who has recently been swapped from Windows 2000 to Windows XP
(Clean Install).

The problem is, his networked drives are connected, and he can see the
folders within these drives, but he cannot see any files within them. I have
checked the drive myself and the files ARE there, and I can see them without
any problems.

Now, normally, i would have put this down to an issue with permissions,
somewhere along the line, but the plot thickens.

The user cannot see any files, only folders, on the local (c & d) drives.

Has anyone seen this before? And if so, can you throw some ideas my way as
to what might help.

Thanks

This is odd. Perhaps user (impossible though) not unless made all folders to
hidden/system and that did the trick.
Have you exposed all folders (hidden, system, etc.)? Folder options and View
then Show hidden files, uncheck Hide ext for known files & Hide protected OS
system files?

Try those steps and see if it'll expose the files. Let us know.

GLuck!
