Guest David Webb Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: Can't unhide files/folders 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" <rubyjack@frontiernet.net> wrote in message news:%23DGzlWgvHHA.3556@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > 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.
