I am using a Toshiba Satellite M115 Series Laptop. Recently I was trying to see some hidden files but I can't. When I try to enable Show Hidden Files and Folder it is not enabling. Each time I click on Tools + Folder Option + View + Show Hidden Files and Folder + Apply + OK and come out from that screen and again going to that screen it showing checked on do not Show Hidden Files and Folder. Can anybody help me to fix it PLEASE.

Is this computer part of a domain?

Are you enabling this with 'Administrator' privileges?

I'm sure someone can, if you start your own thread and follow the Posting Guidelines in that thread instead of being rude and hijacking someone else's thread.

I was able to do this from Access 2.0. It had to be set up, of course, but it could be done. I'm unsure as to why Access 97 says "Can't find file"??? C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2E70.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt Notepad certainly has no problem finding and opening the file. Are any of you familiar with this?
