SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION FOLDER ************************

[Al 'Ahron' Stern]

Can't find it even after making sure that XP SP2 is configured to show
all hidden folders. Please advise what to do.

Hi

Altering anything in there could very well make System Restore not work
properly. Disable 'Hide protected operating system files'

Have disabled 'Hide extensions for known file types'?

The System Volume Information is the hidden, protected operating
system folder in which WinXP's System Restore feature stores
information used to recover from errors. It's really not a good idea
for you, or any utilities or antivirus applications, to directly
access the contents of that folder, unless you expect to have no
future use for the restore points, in which case it would be simpler
just to turn off the System Restore feature.

However, if you're confident that you know exactly what you're doing:
