Yeah Pat, Microsoft has always had those files hidden by default because
they don't think their customers are intelligent enough to not screw
things up. After a fresh install changing that setting is one of the
first things you've got to do. Here are some other normal chores not to
forget after a fresh install:
1. Install drivers for the chipset - very important, even if the PC
seems to run ok.
2. Make sure all devices are working properly in device manager (Start,
Run, type DEVMGMT.MSC). If you see any yellow "!", or red "X", you need
to install correct drivers.
3. If you use any anti-virus and firewall get them installed soon. I
recommend the built-in Windows firewall, and Microsoft Security
Essentials for anti-virus. Both free downloads from MS.
