Can't you change the setting to hide/reveal system files, as you can in all earlier versions of Windows (since the Win95 shell was introduced)? That's something I always do on any machine I'm responsible for, since I know what I'm doing with them. If not, why are system files stored in documents and settings? Or, put another why, why should Vista think that files stored there are system files? -- David W.
