Default bs3 files being hidden / locked

this is on a windows 7 laptop

any new replays or calibrations i make, when i save them they get this little orange lock beside the icon

you can see this icon when you are inside bs3 browsing through the files

but when you are outside of bs3 you dont se the files.. at all.

its making organizing them well.. impossible.

im not sure if this started happening with the new laptop or at some more recent time, but i do want to fix it if possible

I had a customer with a similar problem, except with XFI. The files were on the root of the windows 7 drive and windows was locking the files and hiding them. Did some weird stuff with replays and working with tune files. I copied everything to a new folder on the desktop and everything went back to normal. Hope that helps. Happy thanksgiving.

ok new question, how do you copy a file that is hidden? i know the folder where it is when i am inside bs3, but when im not in it, and go to that folder, its not there.

or am i misunderstanding what all i am copying?

When you are in the folder that contains the files you need, click on tools then folder options, then select the view tab. there should be a check box for "view hidden files"
