hidden tif files

[GretaJo]

I activated MDI for windows 7 and can now open mdi files; however, I can't
see their icons, and I can't see .tif icons. I can only tell the files are
there when I print a new .tif file and the existing file list appears during
the 'save as' step. How do I see the icons/files? I have already done the
"show hidden files" step.

Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab, Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file
types."

Followed that path - it's already unchecked. But thanks, I'll keep trying.

Have you checked your file associations? Right-click a .tif, opens with...
change.

yes - have been playing around - I have older .tif and .mdi files and I can
open them; but any new .tif file I create, the only time I can see it is
during the 'save as' step of creating another. A file search won't find
them, nothing else will, at least not that I've found yet.
