Using WinXP sp2 for OS.
Does anyone know how to find a hidden file that is on the machine but can not be found with a standard windows file search (have unchecked box for hidden system files so I do see all files supposedly). I have gone to a command prompt window to search and do not find it through that means either.
If I try to run the file from my download list in Chrome, it will let me run the file (so I know the file is actually there and it works), but I just want to remove it or change the attribute to the file so that it is not hidden any longer. Any ideas?
