>You must be up early there this morning!!.
You're welcome and good luck...and actually, I'm on one of my 20+ hour
jags at this point!<g> Although I just noticed its now 28 hrs. Just not
tired, so I take advantage of the eyes being open!
Although my guess is I couldn't think to sleep cos' I was thinking about
Greg on his cross country IFR trip today. Keep your fingers crossed it
goes well for him!!! I'm just a little nervous cos' they're taking a 3rd
pilot to drop him off along the way, so the plane will be a little
weighted!<knock, knock, knock>
But then I think his drive back in his daughter's new car from
Gramma/Grampa will make me worry more...I'd rather see him safe in the
air than on these nutcase roads down here!!!

Try hitting Windows Key + R to open explorer. Click Tools/Options and
nose around the view to see if you see that the files are set to not
show hidden files. SORRY I can't quote the exact path right now, but I
just shut down my Win98 system and not sure if this WinXP system is the
same.
But you want to see if files are set to be not show hidden. If so,
uncheck that so you can see them.
Then Right click a folder you can now see and click Properties. Look on
that dialog to see if the Hidden property is set. If so...uncheck it and
it should be back. Not sure what is causing files to become hidden,
unless you have the doc folder set to hidden so all new folders under it
are becoming hidden, too????
If you can see the folders, but you KNOW where one is...you can remove
the hidden attribute by using the dos command like so...
* click start/run
* type command and hit enter to open a command prompt
* type cd\ and hit enter to start at the root dir
* type: attrib [drive]:\[path] -h [enter]
...where drive is the drive letter and path is the folder path to the
folder with the hidden attribute. Then type -h to subtract the hidden
attribute and hit enter to accept the command.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Subject: [mso] Folders appear to be hidden
Hi All,
Just a simple one,*smile*, I have a problem where sub folders within my
"my documents folder" appear to be hidden or have disappeared. The
thing is that when I go in there and arrow around for them I cannot find
them but yet if I do a search for the files contained within them I can
find them and have to copy and paste them back into the main "my
documents folder". My anti-virus program shows up nothing in the way of
a virus so am just wondering about this. I'm using win98 S.E on this
machine with office 2000.
Many thanks,
Paul.
