TIF stands for Tagged Image Format and is a type of image same as
JPG, JPEG, BMP, etc. are.

improper reference that was incorrect; no big deal, but worth
mentioning IMO. In your case, you're just playing cactus.

Essentially - you walked into a room that had a big banner hanging
saying, "Temporary Internet Files" and heard someone say the words
out loud, "Temporary Internet Files" and someone respond with "TIF
Folder" and you decided to make a joke/comment about the double-use
of the final letter/word (TIF Folder, if expanded, would be
(staying within the context of this conversation) Temporary
Internet Folder Folder) ... At least that is what I can see. ;-)

The context is correct - the usage is something I have seen in
other things when acronyms start being used... Usually the repeat
of the last word/words of the acronym because the person just
doesn't think it 'sounds right' to just say the acronym - or it is
not descriptive enough.

The fact is that anyone with any deductive reasoning skills or just an
ability to follow a written conversation who read the message subject line
or the original posters message body and then read the first response that
you are replying to and saw that message body/subject quoted in the reply
would come to the conclusion that "TIF" stood for "Temporary Internet
Files"/"Temporary Internet Folder". This would be so whether they knew
something about computers or nothing about computers.

Such a person would not jump to it meaning something else completely.

Walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting (clearly labeled on the door as
"Alcoholic Anonymous (AA)" and listened to someone announce the meeting by
starting with "Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous" and then when someone in the
crowd says, "I came to AA today because..." someone corrects them - letting
them know this is not a meeting of people who work for American Airlines.

That's what this looks like. All signs point to what the meaning of the
acronym is - and it is accurare and properly formatted - but some just
cannot see it or admit that they just missed it the first time.

Not a rationalization - a fact that you won't admit you are
incorrect/mistaken/missed the obvious. When you said, "In the "context" it
was an improper reference that was incorrect" - you are only correct if you
are talking about your own response.

I didn't actually switch. I bought a used computer with XP Professional
on it.
See VanguardLH's answer, but let me add the following:

1. You switched from XP *Home* (there is no such thing as *plain* XP)
to XP Professional,

2. May I ask why you did this? Are you aware that XP Home and
Professional are identical except that Professional includes a few
features (mostly related to security and networking) missing from
Home? Most home users don't need and would never use these extra
features and will see no benefits by upgrading.

For details go to

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...p_home_pro.asp

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/whichxp.asp

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h.../choosing2.asp

Also note another point, not included in any of the above:
Professional allows ten concurrent network connections, and Home only
five.

Can't get your story straight, can you?

Did you REALLY get the licenses for the software included with the used
computer? Or perhaps did you just get hardware that included a dirty
hard disk that should've been wiped? Do you have the product keys for
the OS and applications? Do you have the installation media for the OS
and applications?

Actually, it sounds like his previous PC had XP Home.

You can't see it when you use Windows Explorer because it is hidden. To
unhide the folder, do the following:

Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | View

Enable "Show hidden files and folders."

Disable "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)." (This is
what you probably didn't do.)

Click OK.

But since it is generally recommended to keep the protected operating
system files hidden and you already know how to see the contents of the
TIF folder by following VanguardLH's directions, what is it exactly you
are hoping to gain?

to show hidden folders.
