I'm not sure what you mean: If the files were hidden, they
wouldn't be there, right? I went to "folder options" and
made sure that it was set to "show all files" under the
hidden files option. I also looked at the attributes in
all the files in OE; most had none checked, some had
only "archive"; OE itself was "read only".
