Need Help With XP Locating File

[Lavindathar]

Need help finding the following file

sysoc.inf

Can someone direct give me the file path please?

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.

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.

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...

Thankyou, I know about hidden folders & files etc (a-level computing ), 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

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.
