Yes, the c:\recycled\nprotect directory is hidden from the OS. This
has been the case since at least NAV/NSW 2002 (which dates to July
2001) and also probably NAV/NSW 2001. I don't know why they're making
such a fuss over this now.

Anyone know which system file is responsible for hiding this
directory?
