my computer in xp

vista has something called "Computer" that may be short for "Bill's computer"

7 and 8 are a bit worse

once you run "computer" as administrator you can view hidden files by setting viewing privileges

but the vista and later introduced a file attribute "Ownership" that is set to many files that used to be available and only the SYSTEM can see.

so if you have an older program and some options to set and they are saved in superpaint.INI *.ini files are system owned and cant be changed or erased once they are written ...

there are even directorys like this

"documents and settings" contains

my files my pictures my favorites etc and can only be viewed by system and seen by registered system applications

there are several addons for windows out there that allow you to "Take ownership" so you may uses some windows programs to view or edit files

and superpaint.INI will then be able to be modified by superpaint or notepad
