Not really parenting related.. oh wait I guess it kinda is...

Clever little me, yes she who hasnt slept properly in about a week now, is now awake at quarter to one in the morning and has just taught herself how to hide photos and folders from the kids on the computer. Only thing is.... I hid them so well that now I cant find them. Anyone know how to find hidden files please???

If you know what the folders are called click on search then click "search hidden files and folders" and search the folder name. They will be found.

If you have changed the properties of the pics to hidden, then you need to :-

1. Open My Computer
2. Click Tools
3. Folder Options
4. View
5. This should bring up a list of options. Under Files and Folders, you will find an option for the setting of hidden files. If you want to see them again, you must select show hidden files and folders. But as soon as you do that, it is accessible again. So you will have to make sure you change it back again when you are finished.

Hope that helps.

I know, this is coming from computer illiterate here but how about doing a search. Right click on start and then search? Hope you find them. It is only 11pm here but should be going to bed myself here. Good luck
