Hi Paul,

Double-check if the SYSTEM attribute is set for the desktop.ini file. Open a Command Prompt window and change to the shell folder (Documents). Type "attrib desktop.ini". This displays the file attributes.

By default the file has "A SH" attributes set.

Thanks for your help. Still no joy, which is strange as I would have thought
that this scenario is fairly common (tried it on all pcs attached to the NAS
and no joy...). Still getting system file appearing when they should be
hidden...

Paul
