Hi CB, In this case, a friend asked me if he could have the voice file from my rockboxed sansa E200 series. The .rockbox directory where that file resides was hidden, so I needed to unhide that folder to get the voice file.
Then of course, I hid the files again because to be honest they are in the way.
