Re: Hidden Folder ??

Hi,

Just looked in my wife's account and the SendTo folder was gone. Also gone in all accounts. Sure enough, hidden.

I unchecked "hidden" and right now they are back where they belong. Oddly, the Application Data folders were there for all accounts.

Fred, do you see the same behaviour when logged in as another user? I'm just wondering whether it's something unique to your profile or a system-wide problem.

Just did a quick check and the "SendTo" folders for ALL accounts were hidden, Had to do a search, then manually change the attributes to get it to display.

It will probably be hidden after the next reboot. This is crazy.

I have Hidden Folders set to display and the App Data folder does not display until I change the attributes. Yet, the other accounts have the App Data folder visible.

Ah, sorry, Fred, I hadn't understood you meant the folder was literally invisible rather than just having the Hidden attribute set. it the only Hidden folder that behaves this way? Can you, in your user profile, see Nethood, Printhood and SendTo, for example?
