Can't unhide 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

If you're looking for hidden system files, there's another item in Folder

Options that you need to change. Disable (uncheck) "Hide protected operating

system files"

RubyJack,

 

Open a folder

TOOLS menu | FOLDER OPTIONS | VIEW tab

 

Select HIDE PROTECTED OPERATING SYSTEM FILES & untick it

 

Select SHOW HIDDEN FILES & FOLDERS

 

Click APPLY

Click OK

 

Not sure why you want to see those anyway as you cannot get into folders like

System Volume... on the protected OS files...

Thank you, but I did do that.

 

Still perplexed,

Re: Can't unhide files/folders

 

Thanks for the reply, but I did both of these and still no files. That's

why I'm perplexed.

 

Still perplexed,
