hidden files

[lovely]

we having this issue at home.

(excuse the following cause i dont know the correct terminology:D )

when we pull up the A drive. it says 15 items and 5 hidden. what does that mean?

even when we open up different files on the C drive....they will state a certain number of files...and then there will be some that are hidden.

what does HIDDEN files mean?

Files in your computer can be set to not be easily seen by the user (you and I). A lot of those files can be very very important to the computer but basicly mean little to nothing to you and I, so the computer makes them hidden so that you and I won't worry/change or deltete them.. You can actually make a file Hidden also. There are also ways to make hidden files visible, but that will just add more files for you to see...and worry about...

I hope that helps? :D
