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,

RubyJack,

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,
Dan
