| Lost! Ability to "show"/ "hide" files. TIA Files-Edit-View-Tools-Help ! MapNetworkDrive Disconnect Network Drive Synchronize ????? There used to be "tools" or something to allow/dis-allow files visibility. I have lost it somewhere. Any & all help gratefully received. TIA eg: In "My Documents" page I could click on Tools & in the drop-down I could click another item to go to "view" and a tab to go further to show/hide highlighted files. After a clean format/re-install of ALL, this is no longer available. TIA for any help.      |

That's my problem, Smirnoff. I have no "folder options" in the "tools" drop-down. :-( I also have no "Folder Options" in Control Panel. Thanks for a prompt reply. |
