The Win 7 file system and Windows Explorer displays . . . Arrrrrrrgh!

Paul, the two references shown in your reply to me DO answer a LOT of questions I've had. Every serious Win 7 user should be required to read them, but not necessarily understand them! How can Microsoft possibly consider these changes to the file system as an improvement over what they were using??

I think I'll change my "Don't show hidden files" back to "Leave them hidden". Unhiding them serves only to complicate the Windows Explorer display unnecessarily.

Thanx a million for your reply, Paul!
