    Windows Explorer Folder Properties Issue


    Window properties shows a folder has 17 files and 81Mb - opening the folder shows only 12 files and 65Mb
    Settings are showing hidden and system files
    Folder has no subfolders
    This is not an uncomment occurance
    WHY?

    What folder are we talking about? There are certain "super-hidden" files in Windows that Explorer won't show you even if you have selected to show hidden and system files. However, if you see this a lot, then a virus is a likely explanation. What do you see if you use the command prompt? Ideally, download and install a third-party command prompt (say, the free one from JPSoft), and list the folder contents with that one.

Hello all! This is admittedly a minor issue but it's becoming more of an annoyance. With my picture containing folders, I like to know what's in each folder by having a preview image.
