I am looking for a page that was downloaded to my computer that was an
attachment but never come up. I have looked for it and I can't find it.
I am thinking that it has been sent to my hidden files on my computer. Can
anyone tell me how I can get to those files and open them open to search for
what I am looking for.

Click to expand...

From an Explorer Window Tools>Folder Options or from the Folder Options
applet in Control Panel - View tab. Check "Show Hidden Files..",
uncheck "Hide known file extensions..", uncheck "Hide Protected
Operating System Files". This last will give you a dialog box to answer
that yes, you are sure. After you are finished looking for your files,
it would be smart to go back and hide the protected OS files again.

Then use Search and the Advanced settings to make sure you are looking
in hidden files. Of course, you'll need to have an idea of what the
name or extension of the hidden attachment is.
