| | Can't View Installer Folder Dell XPS M1530 Vista Ultimate + SP1 When I (manually) run multiple anti-spyware apps, they continuously scroll the folders/files that they are scanning through their GUI window. I have noticed -- again, in multiple apps -- that they show a C:\Windows\Installer\... folder. When I use Explorer and look in C:\Windows, there is no Installer folder displayed. It shows an IME folder and an inf folder, but no Installer. In folder view, in Tools - Folder Options - View, "show hidden files and folders" is selected. Why can't I see C:\Windows\Installer with Explorer? |

| | Re: Can't View Installer Folder I just used Advanced Search, searching Everywhere for Installer. It found Installer folders in, e.g., C-PF-Google, etc., but no C-Windows-Installer. On a different issue, on my original post I cut and pasted into an OE window. There was only one blank line between paragraphs. When I view my original post, there are two blank lines between paragraphs. In this reply I am enterring text directly into the OE window, not pasting. |
