Have you tried the search function. it is found in the "start" menu.
If you can't find it using search, I'd say that the file dosn't exist on your comp.

<font color="cyan">Of course I have used search, but it is a hidden file somewhere deep in the delves of Windows XP, which I need to locate but cannot.</font>

I found it in folder "C:\WINDOWS\inf". The file is not hidden, but the folder itself is. To view it, open Windows Explorer, select the C:\WINDOWS folder, then go to Tools->Folder Options->View and select "Show hidden files and folders".

There's also an option in the Windows XP search function to include hidden files & folders. Look under the Advanced Options...

<font color="cyan">Thankyou, I know about hidden folders & files etc (a-level computing :D ), but getting to grips with XP is a bit new for me, didnt know hidden files were excluded from the search!


Thankyou very much!

And now, to go edit this file :D </font>

<font color="cyan">Nae worries mate, I can program and build computers, I jsut couldnt find that file, only been on XP 3 days and the search feature is different.

It is a file which dictates what windows wants to show you and what it doesnt, tells it what to hide etc.</font>
