Check off "show system files" along with "hidden files and folders" Did that,
and the files/folders didn't show up.
If you have used the "xcopy" util. to move or copy files I haven't been moving
the files once I DLed them to the particular folder [D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads].
I would suggest that you go to that folder, right click on it, select properties
and check whether there is anything unusual displayed. I tried this and found
out that the size of the folder is 3.75GB and it's contains 720 files, 26 folders.
Since it is 3.75GB, I didn't attempt to "copy the folder and see if the copy displays
the same problems" seeing as it might take hours for that lol Yet, once I noticed
that it had 720 files, I remembered reading something about increasing folder size
from 400 to 8000. I attempted to change it from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
I saved bags8000.reg to numerous folders, attempting to get it to work in my D:\Jenny\My
Music\Downloads folder [I wasn't sure where to excatly save it to, so I saved it
in D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads, D:\Jenny\My Music, D:\Jenny, and C:\Program Files
]. After saving it in all of these places, I contiuned on with the instrucations..."Double
click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad
by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit."...yet no change. I also tried
logging out and then back in, hoping for some change, but yet again no change.
Thanks SO MUCH Mark and Anchorman! All of your advice has helped alot...but you guys
got any more ideas? :)
