Can't see Application Data subdirectory

I've been using Salamander for many years and have found it to be stable and very useful for managing large numbers of files.

I've recently noticed that I can't see the "Applications Data" subdirectory or any of its contents in my local drive, C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.

This issue doesn't seem to be a problem with Salamander 2.0 but versions 2.51 through 2.53b1 all seem to have this same issue. Although I can't see the subdirectory and its contents with Salamander, I can see them using the MS-Explorer file manager. My Windows file display options are set to display hidden files and directories and my PC is running Microsoft Windows XP SP3 in an office network environment. I didn't notice any Salamander configuration options that seem to be related to this issue.

Any help with addressing this problem would be great.
Thanks,
Jim

Do you see small Y-shaped icon in the directory line? It means there are some hidden files. Try pressing Ctrl+H to show them ;)

Options | Configuration -> Panels, uncheck Hide files and directories with hidden or system attribute

Looks like a Ctrl+H is a shortcut key for that. Probably inadvertently hit that at some point.

Many thanks to you both. Indeed, Ctrl-H solved my problem!
