In WinXP Pro SP2, I can not unhide the Default User\My Documents folder under
Documents and Settings. I can't see it even with Show hidden files and
folders turned on in Windows Explorer. It is the only folder in the Default
User folder that doesn't show up, the other hidden ones do. Anyone have any
ideas? Thanks.

It's called Administrators Documents, and why would you need to see it
anyway?

Gordon,
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of thinking that was it but wasn't sure.
Anyway, one of our programmers decided to use it to copy things to the local
machine. I don't know why and didn't know about it until the application was
done. Why she isn't using a temp folder I can't guess. Thanks again.
