Maybe hidden and system files disabled in FC?

Hi Ralfso,
Thanks for the reply

Why would system files cause a problem with folders not appearing?

I disagree, but I do think it has something to do with my other problem of FC loading only ver 587.

I'll keep digging and playing
Thanks :)

Because also folders can have system or hidden attributes and your screenshot doesn't show attributes!

p.s. Why do you always write in so big letters? You can zoom the complete content in your browser if you've problems to read small fonts.

Why does my Print bother you? I am very aware of how to zoom.... as mentioned before I have problems with my vision so I NEED to post in large font. I also use a special software for viewing
I take exception with your remark as being uninformed- it would be considerate to have a little empathy to someone who has a disability.
How about if you zoom OUT on my posts?

Aside from that I am having other issues and I still disagree with you.
I will expand once I can get the other issue(I posted) resolved.

Thanks

Can you see the folders of your "Phantom" in the FC XE tree?
You can open the tree with Alt+T.

I never didn't want to affront you and didn't know about your disadvantage :( .

95% of the site is in small fonts (articles, buttons, ...) and only your articles are in big fonts, so I thought that it is much easier to zoom the page (or print zoomed) so that all items on the site are readable for you.

Nevertheless, right-click on statusbar of your FC and check if hidden and system files are marked to be shown.

Hi Karol thanks for the response.

I've moved over to my XP laptop and tried viewing - it works.

My Win 7 m/c isn't showing ANY of my drives properly I have 4 USB drives hooked up to it.
Each drive I click on shows me a different root. :shock:

This is so weird. I've never seen this before. :(

I'll take a screen shot and post it maybe others have seen it too.

Thanks

Hi Ralf
If my large font becomes an issue on this site than the Administrator can approach me.

There are too many Boards with intolerance that I have joined and have received comments about my fonts.

My response to you was out of frustration with the lack of understanding from others.

I appreciate your assistance in pointing the difference in my posts compared to others.

Lets move past this and work on the issue of the Bug :) .

As I mentioned above I'm OK in XP but Win 7 is causing me all the problems.
I'll post my screen shots later.

SOLVED!

Under the VIEW menu the 'Show Hidden files' was not checked. :shock: :roll:

I've never come across this and I solved it after checking both systems I am running.

Let me apologize to Ralfso - you were right and I'm sorry for being stubborn and not checking your solution first. :oops: :oops: :oops:

I did appreciate your help :lol: :lol:
