[Ham-Computers] RE: Displaying hidden files in Win98SE

[Maxwell, John]

Hi,
   I didn't see any response to your inquiry, so I thought this would
help.

   The easiest way to display hidden files is to do a DOS DIR command.
Follow these instructions (note: I've only tried this in WinXP, but it
should work on 98SE) ---- 

Don't include the quotes around text below when typing at the DOS
prompt.

 1) Open a DOS window in Win98 using your favorite method (e.g. Start
--> Run --> Command.com, etc.)
 2) Select the drive letter you want if it is not C: (e.g. D:, etc.)
 3) Issue a "CD \" command to get to the root directory.
 4) Issue a "DIR /S /A:H > C:\HIDFILES.TXT" command and wait for another
DOS prompt. Notes: /S - include subdirectories, /A:H only files with
'hidden' attributes, > C:\HIDFILES.TXT directs the output to the
specified text file.
 5) Exit from DOS window by issuing an "EXIT" command.
 6) Open Windows Explorer using your favorite method (e.g. Start --> My
Computer, etc.)
 7) Look in the root of the C: drive for the HIDFILES.TXT file and
double-click it. It should open in Notepad and you can review the files
there.

Alternatively, in step 5 before issuing the "EXIT" command, you could
issue a "NOTEPAD HIDFILES.TXT" command to save steps 6 & 7 - your
choice.

   Good luck and take care,
      -John  W2JM

While using scandisk on a HDD recently, it reported quite a few
megabytes of
space used by 165 hidden files.

How can I search and display ONLY these 165 hidden files?

I have seen DOS based programs operate in two modes within Windows 98
SE.

In one mode, it is full screen, in the other, a DOS windows on the
Windows
desktop.

Normally either is OK.

I have a new monitor that is wrapping the full screen DOS applications
from
top to bottom, that is, the top 1" or so is on the bottom and everything
is
shifted up.

The monitor is large enough that even a window on the desktop is large
than
most monitors, how can I get these programs to operate within a window,
rather than switch over to a dedicated full DOS screen?
