Hello again ... (using Windows XP), a recent posting where a possible solution requires going to Tool, Folder Options, and View reminds me of something I've been living with for sometime. Not world shaking but here it is ... when I go to View, I see "Show hidden files and folders" buttoned. When buttoning "Do not show hidden files and folders" and clicking "Apply" and "OK" ... it doesn't hold, all hidden files are still showing and when going again to View, again, "Show hidden files and folders" is buttoned. What's happening? --- Harold ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
