    Accessing hidden dirs in XP

    Simple question, how do I gain access to XP's hidden dir's like system volume information.

    It wont let me do it through "DoS" and i need to delete some crap out of there because I have a virus sitting in one of the restore ponits and the pop up msg's from my virus scanner are driving me nuts

    Thanks

    I think I could think of is set your view option to "visible all hidden files."

    I hope this quite helpfull

    You cannot edit the System Volume Information unless you use a disk sector editor. Most likely you will destroy your file system.

    lol, a good advice is BACKUP first before you try this.
