It's Hidden. To see it, open Windows Explorer, go to the Tools menu, then

Folder Options (or to the View menu, Folder Options), click on the View tab

and for Hidden Files choose "Show All Files." While you're there, uncheck

the item that says "Hide file extensions for known file types". Click OK.

As gary said, they are 'hidden',,,,, can you explain why microsoft made such a simple file

hidden? I always get stumped on microsofts logic,, just sometimes doesnt seem

'logical', unless there is something sinister behind it. surely it took xtra programming time, and

maybe even over-time pay for this to be made to happen.

 

When the programers were told by their boss, (bill) to make the 'Recent' files hidden, did any of

the programers ask why, ? or did they simply make it so and pick up their pay check on friday?

(or was bill harassed by the govt to make it so?)

 

I got a sneaky suspicion that micro and govt's are in cahoots,,,, always snooping and prying so

it seems...... even back in the day of win98.

anyhow............

Re: WINDOWS\RECENT

 

Since I'm not sure of the diagnosis, it's hard to say. Such behavior can be

from either cause -- lack of meds or too many. Lots of drugs have these side

effects, as do withdrawals. But so do some prevalent diseases. I don't think

we've ever pinned it down in Dan's case.

 

When I was young, I once lived with someone a LOT like Dan for a few months,

off meds. It took a while to grasp the extent of his disconnect, and I

*think* it was schizophrenia. Dunno for sure. Hardest part to deal with was

the continuous, unbelievably intricate, almost impossible to disbelieve,

pathological lying.
