    Files Saved as Hidden


    Whenever I save a file to my desktop, I have to go into the folder options for the desktop and select to view all hidden files. The files I save, when I check their properties, are no longer hidden. I have to go through this process ANY time I save a file to my desktop, no matter the file type.

    Files saved to other folders aren't hidden.

    Help please ^_^

    Right click on your Desktop > View. Is "Show Desktop Icons" checked?
