    Hiding files with Windows XP

    Okay so I had a file that I was goofing around with and I wanted to hide it. So I tryed to follow the directions that windows had laid out and nothing worked.

    So I went to the file and the right clicked it. Then I selected properties and then went to click hidden as one of the options.

    Now it is gone and I can't find it. Anyone know how to dig this up????

    thanks in advance

    I hate XP. I wish I knew computers so I could set up LINUX. Heard it is great but complicated. It is gonna give Windows a run for its money in the corporate world.
    I hope so. Im tired of Bill Gates and his crappy products.

    If you realy want to hide somting set up security so that only your user id has access to the folder that the files(om porn) is in. Securty for most home user versions of XP is dmbed down you can fix that in the control pannel. Also you can learn to use the cmd line program cacls. Also linux is prety easy to use know I have been using it since 96. You can dowload a full copy of red hat from ftp.redhat.com or one of its mirros

    linux is great..I use it at work and home....Security issues are far less than windows. Takes a while to learn...And setting it up can be a beotch. There is a lot of command line. But in the end I think its better and more efficient

    Windows MIllenium was a piece of trash. XP was a huge improvment for stability. I know a lot of poeple though who will not upgrade from 98 second edition.

    best security line : win 2003 server, win 2000 pro, win xp, win 98se, win me, win 95 ...
    linux is great for admin. but new win 2003 server is even maybe better

    I'm not a real big fan of XP either. But I will say it is an enormous improvement over win95/98.
    Linux is great. My family uses my computer, otherwise I wouldn't even mess w/ XP.
    Unfortunately, I don't think windows is going anywhere for a while, unless people finally decide to give MS the boot.
