From: Bob on 10 Feb 2010 09:25 Thank you, but it is unchecked. The reason I want this, is because I use Links from the toolbars. I use Fifefox, not IE but I think this folder became hidden after one of the IE updates, which I should probably have ignored.

From: FrankV on 10 Feb 2010 10:28 I do not know if it is the exact same problem but it looks similar to what happened on my computer. The hidden temporary folder in my account somehow became a system folder. I tried changing it back to hidden in the sys admin account but couldn't do it. I never found a solution for it.
