Disappearing files

[Marc Jacobsen]

Stan,

Could it be that the file in question has an extension of .dll, .sys, .vxd, .386
, .drv or .pnf?  By default explorer (at least in Windows NT 4.0) is configured
to hide files with these extensions.  You can configure explorer to show files
with these extensions, maybe that is all you need to do.
