Well, thank you for reading my post. I have some good ones coming up that I
think may interest you. One of them is on the "dreaded" invisible (and I
have show hidden files checked, and hide protected system files unchecked)
folder "content.ie5" (its one of seven folders with the same title - the
other six visible), and it has a lot of crap in 8 subfolders that I consider
useless). I have XPsp2, home edition.

I stumbled on to it by accident by right clicking its parent folder (TIF's -
which was empty after clearing cache), and I did a properties and saw 10
subfolders and a whole bunch of files, and said HUH? My Irfan thumbnails
will show it in it's directory tree, but windows explorer won't (another
Bill Gates first - lol - microsoft likes to hide stuff). It was visible in
millenium, but not in XP. The only way you can get it to show in windows
explorer is to type its full path name in the address bar. It is quite
involved, and I struck out in another site. It will take me some time to
compose my post since I ran out of steam with the other group, but it will
be coming. Damn it, I didn't want to start explaining it here...Pete

Wes...I was a little familiar with the MS-MVP's, and went to the site you
provided. Could you tell me a little more about the nominations (eg who
nominated you). Who usually makes the nominations - the nominee's peers or
microsoft (via monitoring newsgroups - I assume)...Pete
