Hello.
We have a computer with Windows Vista Business 32bit on a Machine here in
our Lab.
We are trying to figure out why some of the files in our software are always
hidden.
We are logged in as administrator, and we have set the folder options so
that it always shows hidden files and folders, and to always show protected
operating system files. and to always show file extensions.
In windows xp we see these files in windows explorer, with no problems.
However to see them in windows vista we have to use the following application
http://farmanager.com/
With this application we can see all the hidden files in the folder, however
for some reason windows vista's explorer does not show these files, and we
can not see them even in the windows vista Dos comand prompt.
We have no idea why these files are hidden or how to make it so that they
are not hidden in windows vista, after they are installed through our
installer.
some of the file names are as follows.
_config.cfg
_sa.cfg
We are not sure if it is because vista will always hide files named this
way, we tried renaming one of the files to random dfl.bda, and then all of a
sudden we could see the file.
We appreciate all the help anyone can give us.
Thanks in advance.
