I just posted a question in the "General Hardware Forum" about a utility that would search for only hidden files. The thread was almost instantly locked by the Moderator and I was sternly admonished to post in the proper forum.
What would be the proper forum for this question? Two likely prospects are "Software - Applications, Programming and Games" and "Technical Support". "Operating Systems" might also be a candidate because the search utility that is normally used to search for files is supplied with the operating system. I do not want to make another mistake so I would appreciate advice on what you consider the optimum forum to post this question.
Frankly, I always considered routine maintenance of my hard drive a hardware related activity. I just lumped defragging and cleaning unwanted files all part of the same task since I usually do both at the same time. Please forgive me for my misjudgement.
General Computer Hardware Discussion. This is the place to discuss the latest computer hardware issues and technology. Please keep the discussion ON TOPIC, and covering computer hardware ONLY.
You consider that a stern warning ?
That sentence is a copy and paste from the G.H. header.
Searching for hidden files has nothing to do with hardware what so ever.That is a software issue,please post it accordingly.
Thank You
