Bill, Are you sure you are not infected? I believe the only reason (other than telling Windows) that would cause that to disappear is the virus itself. I'm pretty sure I can see shs files.
According to http://www.cert.org/current/current_activity.html#virus it some extensions are hidden whether the user explicitly requests that extensions are hidden or not (3rd paragraph): "...a registry key named "NeverShowExt" ... is associated with certain file types, including ".SHS" in the Windows registry. This registry key causes Windows to hide file extensions such as ".SHS" regardless of other user configuration choices. So, the file "life_stages.txt.shs" may appear to be named "life_stages.txt"." Microsoft doesn't make my decisions for me, david. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
