File Count Different

Thank you. While that may make sense to some, I'm staring at 21 files and
the
Folder Properties say 20. I'm under the impression that there must be an
explanation.

I have cases where Windows Explorer states that file are non-zero length,
but Properties shows 0 length.
If you have such files, you can read them using
http://www.standards.com/index.html?ReadFile.

Using the program to read the files, the files are not zero length.

So, Windows Explorer and Properties clearly use different Windows APIs to do
their job.

Windows Explorer opened Browse to directory Right click directory

select Properties "Contains: 20 files"

The files are stored on a 2003 server... and I have the same issues
when
using Explorer on the desktop or the server. It would be one thing if
the
directory properties said more (ie: hidden file), but when they say
LESS
than the visual count... I start to get worried.

Do any of the files have the System or Hidden properties checked.

Could be that some counting methods do not include those files,
depending
on the options you have chosen.

He's comparing a VISUAL count against what Explorer counts... and that
visual count is larger

READING is a skill.

READ what I wrote and stop wasting our time.

LOL.
