| | Windows Explorer -- How to Find ALL folders??? For starters, pardon the dumbbell question. OK, how can I find and view all folders on my C: drive using Vista's Windows Explorer? I've already checked the box to view system folders, but that didn't help. I am trying to find ALL the folders under C:\users\myname\apps\........ etc. I can't see anything past the "myname" folder, although I know it (and many other sub-folders) are there. This should be easy, but how! Thanks. Basically, I'd like to see a Windows Explorer tree like that in XP (ah, those were the days!) EW |

| | Re: Windows Explorer -- How to Find ALL folders??? Thanks Dave, but No Go. Per your instructions, I've ticked all possible system file viewing, protected files, etc., and I still can't see all the folders that I know exist. Again, in my case, I can't get beyond C:\users\username\..... There are MANY folders beyond this point, as you know, but I just can't see them in Win Explorer. Note: my system works perfectly otherwise -- no "problems" of any kind. Anyone please?!

| | Re: Windows Explorer -- How to Find ALL folders??? Dave, disregard my first reply message to you. I think I've got it working now. After making the changes you described, I hit "refresh" and didn't have the folders; however, after CLOSING Win Explorer, then opening again, all the folders seem to be there.........!
