Hi,

I just upgraded to Poser 8, and am Running 32 bit Vista Basic. I save all of my render files into the same folder that I install Poser into. Most of my files are still in my Poser 7 folder, but I'm starting to create and save documents to my Poser 8 folder. When I installed poser 8 I chose to install content to the shared documents directory, as I still use UAC. However, I still save my files to the poser folder in the program files directory.

When I save scene files to my poser folders (C:/programfiles/smithmicro/poser8) and (C:/programfiles/efrontier/poser7),  the files are invisible when looking for them outside of Poser. I have turned on show invisible files in folder settings and I still can't see them. When opening files through poser, they show up fine and I can open them. But when I am looking for then in Windows Explorer, they are nowhere to be found. This is annoying, as I would like to back up these files, but can't get to them.

Long term the solution I think is to start saving files elsewhere, such as a folder on the desktop, or in my documents folder, as they show up fine there. Having been able to save files to my poser folder for years, It will take a bit of getting used to, but I'll cope. However, I am completely lost on how to get at the files I currently have for backup purposes without copying the whole directory. 

Any help or insight anyone has would be great.

Thanks,
