The only true logic is that, there is no true logic!

Look at the Icons, basically it looks like a text icon but it will have a small wheel object on it.

And if you're running Windows 7, the default on file view is without the file type (e.g., no .ini after the file name). So, change that setting in your Win7 settings.

Here's a shot of my settings which show me everything.

Thank you all for the help.I'm still unclear as to what the file should look like. My coumputer knows it's there as it gives me the option to scan it by it's name. If I can get a screen shot I'll post it to show you what I'm seeing. Such a simple thing,yet darned if I'm not stumped as to why the file is not shown. I'd be willing to bet that I've looked right at it and too mind numb to see it for what it is. :blush:
