None of these apply to the command prompt (cmd.exe) or the Run command.
* Display the contents of system folders
* Show hidden files and folders
* Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
They only apply to Windows Explorer.
I UNChecked: Display the contents of system folders & Show hidden files and
folders. And I checked: Hide protected operating system files
(Recommended).
I then killed explorer.exe and restarted it just because.
I then opened a command prompt.
Typed: cd C:\WINDOWS
Typed: dir and everything showed.
I also pasted the following line into the Run command and clicked OK...
C:\DOCUME~1\WESLEY~1.VOG\LOCALS~1\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
and the Content.IE5 folder opened. LOCALS~1 or Local Settings is a hidden
folder, so anything beyond that is also hidden. And Content.IE5 is a Hidden
System folder.
I also pasted
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
into the Run command and the Content.IE5 folder opened.
I am not sure what you problem is.

bulova_PSB <bulova_PSB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Additionally, if I open a CMD-prompt window, navigate to the C:\WINDOWS
directory and do a "DIR" command, all that is shown is the . and ..
directories!
I have "Show Hidden Files and Folders" selected in Windows Explorer Folder
Options.
How do I get WinXP to reveal ALL files and folders? I KNOW there are a
bunch of files and folders at that location (if I do a "DIR s*" a list of
files and folders including SYSTEM and SYSTEM32 are shown).
Thank you for your attention and help.
