Is this a work computer or a home computer?
Could you security software be interfering? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Marc wrote: I cannot view hidden or system files using Windows XP Professional When i go to 'folder options' - 'view' and check 'view hidden files' i click apply, then ok and the folders juts reset to the point where one cannot view these files.

You need to uncheck the box with "hide extensions for known file types"..

The mere fact that Avast is running on both PCs does not mean it is not
interfering with one of the computers. You may also have other security software. (At least I hope you do.) --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Marc wrote: this is a home PC and i am using Avast Anti Vurus, its running on another laptop of mine as well and it workss fine, there is no issue with the laptop "Leonard Grey" wrote: Is this a work computer or a home computer?

Marc, have you checked "Display the contents of system folders"?
