How to Show Hidden Files in Windows

Why are some files hidden?
The answer is pretty straight forward. Hidden files and folders constitute those that, if altered, could have a major effect on the way your system performs. Hence, when Windows is first installed, it hides these elements to keep anyone from accidentally deleting, renaming or moving files that the operating system relies on.
Why would I need to see hidden files?
All in all it's a good policy, but occasionally, computer repair calls for making the exact types of changes they want to guard against. To accommodate actual IT repair, Windows makes it easy to view the hidden files and folders if you want. You just have to adjust the Folder Options in Windows Explorer.
Not to be confused with the web browser called Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer is a program installed on every Windows system. It constitutes the folder hierarchy you see whenever you click (My) Computer. We've all used it; it allows us to navigate down the hierarchy from disk to folder to folder, etc.
How to do it...
To show hidden files, just start by opening up Windows explorer. You can just go to My Documents if you want; any open Windows will do.
» In Windows XP, click the menu heading labeled Tools, then select "Folder Options."
» In Win Vista and 7, click the menu heading labeled Organize, then select Folder and Search Options.
» When the Folder Options window appears, click on the View Tab
» In the Advanced Settings pane, you can scroll through a series of options that determine how information in your computer is displayed. Locate the "Hidden Files and Folders" radio buttons and select: "Show Hidden files folders and drives."

By the way, if you prefer to either see or not see the files extensions, you can adjust that here by checking or unchecking the box labeled "Hide extensions for known file types." File extensions are the three-letter designation that follows a file name like.exe,.doc,.xls,.jpg,.mov, etc. Most users like seeing them, but remember, if you opt to see the file extensions then you can change a file's type by just relabeling the file extension. Having them hidden prevents this.

» Click Apply, then OK and you're done.
Now you'll see folders appearing where you hadn't before, often they'll look faded. This indicates that this is a system folder that would otherwise be hidden.
By showing hidden files you'll gain a new perspective on the inner workings of a system. For example you may see more files like "desktop.ini" and various ".bat" files. These coordinate the icons within Windows Explorer. Don't delete these; just ignore them. They tell your computer how to display items in such a way that you can recognize them.
If these hidden files bother you, you can re-hide hidden files and directories by simply going back to the Folder Options and opting to "Don't show hidden files, folders or drives."

Negotiating: Men Vs Women - Who Wants To Win More?

In the world of negotiations there is a classic question that has existed since the start of time: who wants to "win" a negotiation more, men or women? I've heard this one debated over countless meals in countless bars over the years and yet I've never hear a good answer. We all have different negotiation styles and negotiating techniques, who does it better? Guess what: that's all changed now. The researchers have completed their study and now we know the answer.
Who Needs Ethics?
Researchers have recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology the results of their studies on the differences between men and women when something is being negotiated. The results are not pretty.
What the researchers found was that it appears that all too often, during the negotiation process men were willing to put their ethical standards aside during a negotiation in order to win. So much for the negotiation definition that says that we're all supposed to be conducting a principled negotiation. The reason for this behavior was that men were more pragmatic in how they reasoned about ethics. This mean that they could be more lenient in how they went about applying ethical standards. To use a big word, the researchers discovered that men were more prone to what the researchers called a "moral hypocrisy".
Why Each Negotiation Means So Much To A Man
As though that all wasn't enough, the researchers found something else out. They discovered that during a negotiation, men more often than not tend to assume that their masculinity is at stake. They will take some very specific actions because of this.
Specifically, they will view the negotiation as a threat and this will cause them to act more aggressively. In order to be successful during the negotiation and to protect their masculinity, men are willing to use ethics as just another negotiating tool.
What All Of This Means For You
Finally we appear to have an answer to the classic question of who wants to win a negotiation more: men or women. The researchers have completed their study and they say that the answer is men.
However, it turns out that the reason that the scientists were able to come to this conclusion was because their study revealed that men are more willing to relax their ethical standards when they are involved in a negotiation. They also assume that their masculinity is at stake during the negotiation and this can make them more aggressive.
The next time that you are involved in a negotiation, make sure that you know which gender is sitting on the other side of the table. Knowing this may help you to come up with a strategy that will result in a better deal for both sides.
