Windows 31 If the [Inf] Folder Is Not Visible in the [Winnt] or [Windows] Folder Use the following procedures to show all files and folders. 1. Open the [Winnt] or [Windows] folder. 2. Click the [Tools] menu and select [Folder Options...]. 3. Click the [View] tab. 4. In the [Advanced settings] section, set the [Hidden files and folders] category to the [Show hidden files and folders] option. • If [Hide extensions for known file types] is selected, remove its check mark. 5. Click [OK] to close the dialog. This will make the hidden files and folders visible. 4. Look for the file starting with [Oem*]. • A number such as "0" or "1" will appear in place of the asterisk (*) above. You will also find another file called [Oem*.pnf], which will have the same number as the [Oem*.inf] file. The two constitute one set (i.e. Oem0.inf and Oem0.pnf). Please note that there may be many file sets starting with "Oem" so take care to get the correct set. 5. Confirm that it is the correct [Oem*] file set for Canon digital cameras. • Double-click the [Oem*.inf] file. The Windows Notepad program will start and show the file contents. Click each [Oem*.inf] file until you find one that contains "*** Canon Digital Camera USB Setup File ***" in its first line. When you find the correct file, note down its name and close the Notepad window. 6. Delete the [Oem*] file set. • Delete the [Oem*.inf] and [Oem*.pnf] files, taking great care to delete the correct files. • The Inf folder contains numerous files that are critical to the computer's operation. Be extremely careful not to delete the wrong files. If you delete the wrong file, you may be unable to restart Windows.
