    Invisible "C:\Boot\Macrium" Folder


    This question was generated by a post on the Macrium Support Forum but I thought seeing how there are many more items in this "invisible" C:\boot menu item I'd post it here and possibly find the answer to my question as to why it doesn't show up unless I specifically do a search in Explorer for "boot."

    Link to the original Macrium Support Forum question is here:What/Where Is this: "C:\boot\macrium" Folder?

    On explorer click view tab
    click options icon on right
    click change folder and search options
    on windows that opens click view tab scroll down to Show Hidden files and folders and uncheck it.
    Scroll to Hide protected operating system files
    uncheck it agree the warning by clicking Yes in the separate window
    then click, apply and OK
    when you then look at C in explorer it will show all the boot directory, its folders including Macrium and its files.

    @Macboatmaster Worked perfectly, although I had to go back and "check" the Show Hidden Files and Folders again to get the "boot" to show up. Thank you!

    Now that i know that everything is there as it's supposed to be, I'm good.

    Sorry about that typo
    I meant of course check show hidden files and folders
    My apologies.

    Do not leave the system - showing hidden files and folders and showing protected OS files.
