[QUOTE="dayal, post: 275001, member: 21971"] I'm having trouble copying/moving a certain invisible file to another folder to overwrite another file...I have used programs such as 'FileBuddy' which I now have given up on as I have no idea how to properly use it, and now use an app called TinkerTool which is easier and shows all the invisible files. Now, when I try to copy & paste this invisible file to its new location (where it will overwrite another file) I keep getting the message 'The item "" cannot be replaced because it is invisible...I'm quite confused here because I can drag this file to my desktop and anywhere else, but when it comes to overwriting another file (which I have to add here was also invisible until I used Tinkertool) it doesn't work... Can someone help? [/QUOTE]
