What do I need to edit in the registry to get rid of the Show Files warning when I try to look in the C:\Windows and \Windows\System, etc....<br><br>Thanks
 
I am not a win98 machine right now, but I believe that you can change that in windows explorere by going to the view/options on the menu.<br><br>It is somewhere on the first or second tab. Hope this helps.<br><br> <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
go into the windows folder and delete a hidden file called folder.htt
 
This is a function of viewing the folders as Web Pages. The script is in &quot;folder.htt&quot; as timdodgson indicated. However, rather than deleting this file altogether...why not modify the file to prevent it from putting this blank page over your directory and hiding the files.<br><br>Try editting the file and commenting out the following line:<br><br><br>Open the file and look for the Function Showfiles()...the next line should be something like:<br>&quot;Info.inner.HTML=L_Intro_Text +.........+L_Prompt_Text;&quot;<br><br>Put a &quot;!&quot; at the beginning of this line to comment out this code and see what happens.<br><br><br><br>dxd
