You also need to uncheck the following item in the folder view options
Hide Protected Operating System Files
G
Gerry
Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
Notwithstanding there remain some files which remain hidden. You still
will not see the System Volume Information folder.

Why are you even looking for System Volume Information? You don't even
need to know that such a folder exists in order to use System Restore.
If System Restore is failing with a message to the effect that the
System Volume Information folder is missing, then you probably are SOL.
For everything you wanted to know about System Restore (and more), see
MVP Bert Kinney's site: http://bertk.mvps.org/

I knew Norton could stop a user restoring from a restore point. I did
not know it stopped the System Volume Information folder being visible!
Thanks for letting all know how your problem was resolved.

I never bothered any further to find volume control folder. I knew it must
exist to have my system restore, I think MicroSoft makes it hard for us to
find folders etc. that are hidden.
Thanks for all the Help.
By the way I live In Montreal CANADA
