Power Options not working
"Olórin" wrote in message ... That sentence about Windows Explorer is just not right. Try showing/not showing hidden files and folders in the Folder Options dialog - the change "takes" straight away without even having to Refresh, let alone restart Windows Explorer. You haven't tried: Tools, Folder Options, View (this is all from Windows Explorer) Now click on Reset All folders and now click on: Apply to all folders. Let us know what you alert messages you get. I rest my case. hth

What I *did* try was setting hidden files/folders to not show (I always set them to show) via Tools Folder Options. This is most definitely a "change...in folder options" as you describe, yet the change took place immediately without any need to "restart the Windows Explorer", contrary to what you asserted. What *was* your case?
