So I put music on my phone no problem from my computer when I had windows XP from clicking tools then going to show hidden folders. Now I have vista and I noticed when I open the same folder the File,View,Tools and other options on the ver top of the folder aren't there anymore. So I was wondering if someone can tell me where the tools section is.

What I understand from you post is that you wanna see the hidden files on your system. Here it is:

1. Click the round blue Start thing in the left corner
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Folder Options
4. Click the View tab
5. Click Show hidden files and folders
6. If you want to see system files as well, unclick Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
7. Click OK

You are talking about Windows Vista, right?

To see the toolbar that you require press the Alt button. Windows have hidden that bar by default in Vista. There is a way to make it seeable at all times but I can't remember how I did it.

And XBoy was talking about the Start button to get to the Control Panel and changing the hidden file settings that way.

Kind regards
