I am unsure what you are not seeing/why you are not seeing it... but... - Open *one* My Computer - everything else closed. - Choose (from menu across the top) Tools --> Folder Options... --> View tab - Under the "Advanced Settings" section, you should find what you want... "hiding-un-hiding files, showing file extentions etc" --> "Hidden Files and Folders" -> "Show hidden files and folders" --> "Hide Extensions for known file types" --> "Hide Protected Operating System files (Recommended)" Or do you mean something else? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
