After reading some of the other postings I figured out the FINAL fix... the one that 
will surely work ...   =O)
I posted this same message on the posting that gave me this idea....  ok here it 
goes ....
            ---------------------------------------
Well ... I followed the instructions and it did get rid of the "Show Files" nag. 
BUT... it also disabled the file preview effect.
 (mouse over bmp, gif, jpg, a small display shows)

So what I did instead was: I moved the Folder.htt file from C:\Windows to a floppy 
disk  (just in case I didnt like the results of my little experiment ::grin::)

Then I Copied the Folder.htt file from the C:\Windows\Web folder and pasted it to 
C:\Windows

                     tadaaa !!!!! =O)

PS: Since It worked fine I also pasted it to the C:\Windows\System folder. If for 
some ungodly reason I need to set it back to normal I have the original Folder.htt 
in a floppy disk.
And I believe you cant put that Folder.htt anywhere on your hard drive cause then 
that folder you put it in will give you the "Show Files" nag.
(Not %100 sure, but wasnt interested in testing it.. lol)
