Ok here is a strange one, everyone that has a new Compaq or HP is going to
run into this. I returned the machine I got for my boss because of this and
now have a credit to get another. The problem is they all are the same by
those companies and the store only carries HP and Compaq.
Here is the problem. These machines for some reason hide the contents of the
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files. Even if you check every option
available to show files from folder options. Setting to show contents of
system folders, Show hidden files and folders and not hiding protected
operating system files still does not allow you to see the files.
I know the files exist because when I go to the folder from another machine
through the network they are visible, likewise if I use the machine that can
not see the files to look in the folder on another machine the are not
visible.
I know this sounds like a small problem, however with out seeing those files
you are unable to look and see what Active X controls you actually have and
what version. This can be a problem if you need to diagnose.
If anyone has seen this or knows what to do please help.
Thanks
