Is there any way to hide folders with the "_files" extension?
Not sure what they are or why they are there, but the folders with the
"_files" extension really clutter things up and make it difficult to find the files I am looking for. Any way to hide those, or some other method so that I don't have to look at these? |

They are the files associated with documents saved as web pages. Save your
web pages in a separate folder from your Word documents and avoid the clutter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "WillIAm" wrote in message news  Not sure what they are or why they are there, but the folders with the "_files" extension really clutter things up and make it difficult to find the files I am looking for.

Is there any way to hide folders with the "_files" extension?
Not really a Word thing (I'm guessing it's an OS feature): one thing special
about these folders is that if you delete the htm file in Windows, the folder gets automatically deleted as well. Any idea on how they do that? I'm guessing it must be some kind of linking as it would seem odd to me that the simple delete command would investigate your files. So I'm wondering if you somehow know how Word does set up those links. Yves "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... They are the files associated with documents saved as web pages.

Is there any way to hide folders with the "_files" extension?
FWIW, there's a setting in Word 2003 and earlier at Tools | Options |
General | Web Options | Files to "Organize supporting files in a folder." I imagine that clearing this check box would result in the files being stored in the same folder with the Web page (which would eliminate the _files), but it would certainly clutter up that folder! In any case, my guess is that Word and Windows have some "secret handshake" by which the Web page file and supporting folder are linked. -- Suzanne S.

my guess is that Word and Windows have some "secret handshake"
It's nothing really to do with Word - Windows has a feature that connects these files and folders. I think it was originally meant to be more generic, but only ever got implemented for web pages. .htm (or .html) files are connected to similarly named _files folders by default, but this can be switched off in the registry (...\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ NoFileFolderConnection). One point to watch is that it is language-sensitive, so in Dutch, say, it would be a _bestanden folder. The answer to the original question, of course, is that there isn't really much you can do except not save so many complete web pages, and use browser bookmarks/favourites instead - that way you won't have any of the clutter. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Suzanne S.

Is there any way to hide folders with the "_files" extension?
I imagine the problem can be avoided by using single-file Web pages (*.mht)?
