    Re: Help viewing hidden files

    Hi. I hope so much that someone can help me. I have xp on my computer, and although I have checked for Show hidden files, there are still hidden files and folders in my Temporary Internet Files-folder. I have, with the use of this excellent page been able to find them, find the names, and the content. But I can not delete them! The message I get is that I don't have access to the files. What do I do now?

    If not what type of files are they? What is the extension? For example Windows will not allow you to delete .dat files. All your internet history is saved in .dat files as well as in .tmp files.

    If you wish to delete your .dat files this is a good app:
