Can't unhide hidden files/folders

[Guest rubyjack]

I have gone to Windows Explorer and Folder Options both and checked show

hidden files, but I still can't see hidden files/folders in Windows

Explorer. If I use a third party program like FreeCommander, I can see the

hidden stuff just fine.

 

 

Perplexed,

Dan

RubyJack,

 

Please don't double post as there are many users who don't like it & start

throwing their toys around.

Did you also un-check "Hide protected operating system files"?

My apologies. Norton reported that the first message had not been sent.

Hence the second post.

 

Polite,

Dan

Thank you, Gary, but I did.

 

Still perplexed,

Dan
