hidden folders/files?

[Guest Dan D.]

Using Win2003Ent.

 

I have a drive that only has two folders. When I right click on properties

for the two folders, one folder shows size of 0 and the other shows size of

3MB. However, when I look at properties for the drive it shows 21G capacity

with only 3G free. I have show hidden files and folders turned on.

 

If there are hidden folders/files on that drive how do I see them? What else

could it be. I've emptied the recycle bin.

 

Thanks,

You've probably still got system files/folders hidden.

 

I'd use something like TreeSizePro (or similar) to find out what's lurking

where.

If you mean "hide protected operating system files" then that is unchecked.

Or do you mean something else?

If you don't have access to the files (for example a Profiles folder), the

size does not show up either,
