Well, he had been in 'properties' when macaffee came up w/a message. He was trying to deal w/that & checked the hidden attribute accidentally.
Goes to show anything can happen. i think perhaps he was just a bit self-conscious about it, but, heck, there's nothin' to be ashamed of--it's easy to make a mistake like that & if u don't know about the hidden files & folders option, then u won't know how to change it. So I'm certain he wasn't trying to be discourteous, but, yeah, if others can learn by his mistake, then not only he's been helped but others also.
