gatherNetworkInfo.vbs- why invisible with TC?

Post by *mik256 »

Hi,
gatherNetworkInfo.vbs - this file is located in %windir%\system32 made by Microsoft to collect various information. My question is this file is somehow not visible in Total Commander, but visible in File Explorer. Of course, I have the option Display hidden/system file checked.

Thanks

First guess:
You are running a 32-bit version of TC, so you are looking at the 32-bit system32 folder [1]
Your vbs is only in the 64-bit system32 folder [2]


[1] C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ ( from a 64-bit File Explorer )
[2] C:\Windows\Sysnative\ ( from a 32-bit TC )

Quick Tip:
I created an empty ___32___ folder in the 32-bit system32 folder (and a ___64___ one in the regular sytem32 folder) to easily distinguish the two in case of doubt.
