It's Hidden. To see it, open Windows Explorer, go to the Tools menu, then
Folder Options (or to the View menu, Folder Options), click on the View tab and for Hidden Files choose "Show All Files." While you're there, uncheck the item that says "Hide file extensions for known file types". Click OK. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "S1L1Y1" wrote in message ...

Documents. Yes they can be deleted. Brian A. Sesko { MS MVP_Windows Desktop User Experience } Conflicts start where information lacks. http://basconotw.mvps.org/ As gary said, they are 'hidden',,,,, can you explain why microsoft made such a simple file hidden? I always get stumped on microsofts logic,, just sometimes doesnt seem 'logical', unless there is something sinister behind it. surely it took xtra programming time, and maybe even over-time pay for this to be made to happen. When the programers were told by their boss, (bill) to make the 'Recent' files hidden, did any of the programers ask why, ? or did they simply make it so and pick up their pay check on friday? (or was bill harassed by the govt to make it so?) I got a sneaky suspicion that micro and govt's are in cahoots,,,, always snooping and prying so it seems...... even back in the day of win98. anyhow............ |

Since I'm not sure of the diagnosis, it's hard to say. Such behavior can be
from either cause -- lack of meds or too many. Lots of drugs have these side effects, as do withdrawals. But so do some prevalent diseases. I don't think we've ever pinned it down in Dan's case. When I was young, I once lived with someone a LOT like Dan for a few months, off meds. It took a while to grasp the extent of his disconnect, and I *think* it was schizophrenia. Dunno for sure. Hardest part to deal with was the continuous, unbelievably intricate, almost impossible to disbelieve, pathological lying. -- Gary S.
