How can I get hidden folders to display in my TLB 3.0 virtual folders? (I am talking about folders that have the "hidden" bit set at the file system level; not items that have been manually hidden in TLB.)

I'd love to browse the TLB Information Archives, but the site has been hacked:

TLB uses system settings. So if you setup explorer to show hidden file TLB will show them too.

Apparently not, since I have the "Hide protected operating system files" option deselected, and the "Show hidden files and folders" option selected. I also have "Display the contents of system folders" selected (which refers to the system bit, not the hidden bit). Or is it still some other option?

I can confirm that... In explorer I see all hidden and system files, but in a virtual folder these files are invisible... Strange I never noticed this before... Smile

I noticed that this problem was listed as fixed in the release notes for TLB 3.1. I installed TLB 3.1, but unfortunately, I still can't get hidden files and folders to display.

For example, my "C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Application Data" folder won't display in a virtual folder, though it appears in Explorer itself. (Of course, since it displays in Explorer, my system setting is such that hidden files and folders are displayed.)

Sorry.
