So... For some reason, I've been getting a new error. I did a windows update a while back ago (Windows XP) and somehow that changed one of my settings... It hasn't really been bugging me until now.

Basically if I go into a folder (sometimes a folder containing 100+ files) that I want to select all the files, I usually click in the folder and use the Ctrl+A shortcut. Doing this, however, prompts a message EVERY TIME, which generally states:

Quote :

"This folder contains ___ hidden files. If you want to select these files as well, enable viewing of hidden files in the Folder Options [OK] [Cancel] "

I generally ignore this, but it's really getting on my nerves now... How do I make this message stop from coming up? I don't care about the hidden files. I don't need to transfer them, and every folder seems to have a damn annoying hidden file... *rawr rawr rawr*

He doesn't want to select the hidden files.

If he WANTED the hidden files, the facepalms would be understandable.

He doesn't want the hidden files, and he doesn't want to be prompted with instructions on how to select hidden files every time.

The only thing enabling the viewing of the hidden files is going to do is cause him to have to avoid selecting them when he is transferring files; hardly a solution.

the hidden file(s) are most likely some bs system thumbnail file or something like that. he may not care about moving them, but the easiest solution is to just make them visible and move them anyways

^^ You got it correct sir.

^I believe you are correct on the thumbnail file, but why would they all of a sudden be causing an issue, especially after a windows update? I guess I'll just have to live with it...
