Hi
A friend of mines PC is running ME and for some reason, when looking at the
root of C: drive in Explorer, the right hand pane does not display any icons
or file details. This is ONLY happening in the root of C: drive and the
contents of any sub-folders, suchas as c:\windows or c:\program files
displays ok.
When C:\ is selected in the left-hand tree-view, the status bar at the
bottom will display "58 objects" and if I press Ctrl + A, it'll say "58
items selected", so I know there are files there.
When viewing c:\ with a command prompt, "dir" will display all files as
expected.
I've tried changing the view in Explorer from Icons, List, Details etc but
this doesn't have any effect.
Is this known behaviour of any known virus?
I've heard that desktop.ini can be used to force Explorer to not display
files in a given folder but cannot find any documentation regarding this on
MSDN.
Any ideas gratefully received.
