On the View tab make sure you have "show files with known extensions"
ticked. "Ignacio Carrasquedo" wrote in message ...

Files does not exists on explorer (vista 64 bits)
Hi, Ignacio.
Bob's advice is goo, but remember that Microsoft worded that setting backwards: :^{ At Folder Options | View, UNcheck the setting that says: "Hide extensions for known file types" You might also want to check "Show hidden files, folders, or drives", AND UNcheck: "Show protected operating system files (Recommended)" (You'll need to confirm this last one with Administrator credentials, as I recall.) These 3 default settings are some of the first changes that I make each time I install or re-install Windows Microsoft is trying to protect newbies from mistakes and confusion, I suppose. But these settings are dangerous, in my opinion, especially for newbies. They might not realize that a file with an apparently safe name like "Mom.jpg" might actually be a malware file named "Mom.jpg.exe", but with the significant ".exe" extension hidden. In the Command Prompt window, type "dir /?" to see all the switches and parameters available with the Dir command. RC -- R. C.
