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!)

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?!

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.........!
