Okay, I Admit: Vista Sucks
I just spent about twenty minutes trying to figure out whether or not my hard drive was failing – I could not, for the life of me, see files that I knew were in a specific directory.
The files appeared in the program’s save/load dialogue boxes; inside explorer, they were nowhere to be found. They also didn’t appear via the command line. Checked properties from within the program’s dialogues; nope, the files were not hidden – permissions were correct.
…Of course it’s completely obvious that I’d need to hit the ‘compatability files’ button. Oh, yes. That makes perfect, intuitive sense.
Listen, Billy G, if I wanted to be told how to use my own computer, I’d be running OS X.
Absolutely hidden files, really? Now what do you suppose would happen if this was a directory where I wasn’t aware of these files, or simply wasn’t paying attention, and had to copy it to say another machine?
My kingdom for a decent desktop operating system! (No, Linux doesn’t count – sorry, I like getting work done instead of screwing about with configuration files for a week beforehand. :p)
