Ok....i've had this issue for a while now and it's frustrating the h@#* out of me!

In XP, I follow the process as outlined below:

1. Click "Start".
2. Open "My Computer".
3. Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options".
4. Select the "View" Tab.
5. Uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option.
6. Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option.
7. Click "Yes" to confirm.
8. Click "Apply"
9. Click "Apply to All Folders"
10. Click "OK".

So you'ld expect that to actually work eh? Nope!! My protected files are still not visible and nor are my extensions for known file types!! :mad:

When I go back to the view settings, the two options mentioned in steps 5 and 6 (above), are checked again!!!???:confused:

Ideas anyone?

To change the settings back to default or to see all files use Folder options.
