The WinXP in Windows Explorer is already set to "Show hidden files and
folders"  and "Hide protected operating system files" is also
unchecked.  But I still cannot open the "System Volume Information"
folder.  Have you open that folder and copied any files from that
folder?  If not, would you try and let me know?  I am simply trying to
use TC to make a full backup copy of my C: drive (a new installation of WinXP); so 
that if I need to reinstall
a clean copy of WinXP, I can simply do a copy from this backup and it
would be mostly all configured.

I appreciate your kind note of caution. But I resent Miguel's tone
(and people like him) who jumps to conclusion and thinks he knows it
all when he couldn't possibly have.
