hidden folder shows up in search

E

Eli Aran

I configured a folder in my xp machine to be hidden including all contents
and subfolders.
the files inside the folder show up in the o/s's start->search...
what is the point in hiding the folder if the hidden files show up in the
hidden folder as search results,
and the location of the hidden folder can be deducted from the properties
of the hidden file that was found in the search?

Open a new search window and check the Advanced options box. Make sure that hidden files/folders is unchecked.
