Hi David, It's not as bad as it sounds. Go in to My Computer. Select Tools, then Folder Options. Now navigate to the "View" tab. Tab down to the Advanced Settings section, where there is a list of Check Boxed and Radio Button items. Go down about 7 or 8 items to "Hidden Files and Folders", and below that select the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button. While you are at it, you might want to go one down, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known files types". WARNING: Unhiding Folders and files like this reveals a great deal that may surprise you. Do not risk messing with what you find unless you are 110% certain you know what the consequences might be. Oh! And when you do start bombarding the list with questions about hidden files, remember - I'm probably busy that weekend!
