I am facing a strange problem of not able to view some mp3 files on my system.

I have added a lot of files in a winamp playlist. They are being played from playlist very comfortably. But whenever I Right Click on file name and choose File Info...it shows some path like F:\Songs\Hindi\Saawariya.mp3

There is no file called Saawariya.mp3 in Hindi folder but its playing the song :eek: :eek:

This is the case with some songs only not with all songs.

I am using KAV updated with ZA firewall and S&D AntiSpyware.

Maybe the file is super hidden.... In explorer, Tools>Folder Options>Untick Hide Protected Operating System Files.......... The file must be visible!!
