Very good idea. Don't worry we don't bite! Not unless you bite us 1st lol

Which version of LW are you using? You can find it by going to the LW menu bar, Help>About LW ...

On the mac I discovered it by dropping the downld folder into Roxio Toast. Toast will show invisible/hidden files also. As will the OS search engine & another 3rd party program. I was able to make them visible by undoing their method of making themselves invisible!

Another mod mentioned they'd heard of this problem before so we'll see if we can find the thread & the solution.

* A quick look & I did come across this one: Beware Of This Virus!!!

* In fact a search over recent months, re: Hidden files; all refer to viruses. Another: LW slows down whole computer

* http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/Forums...pic/t=983.html (thanks for the link KathW) This is a great forum site!!! It includes solutions also.

* It might also be worth seeing: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!
