SUMMARY
When you open any of the following folders, you may not see any files. Instead, you see a link named "Show Files." You must click the "Show Files" link to see the folder's contents:
 * Winnt
 * Winnt\System
 * Winnt\System32
 * Program Files



MORE INFORMATION
To configure these folders so that you see the contents without having to click the "Show Files" link, modify the Folder.htt file in each of the folders. To do this, open each Folder.htt file and add the "ShowFiles;" function call to the "Load;" function. For example, see the following snippet: function Load { Initialize(L_Intro_Text); FileList.style.display = "none"; Info.innerHTML = L_Intro_Text + L_Barricade_Text; window.onresize = ResizeBarricade; ResizeBarricade; ShowFiles;        //Add this function to bypass } After you make this change, save and close the Folder.htt file.
