Not here, although I think I know what you meant Darren.
What I'm seeing happen in the File|Open dialog is just the Organize 
drop-down with the "folder and search options" inaccessible. ALT doesn't 
change anything here.

To get back into AppData\Roaming\POV-Ray\v3.6\Scenes I must first change the 
"view hidden files" setting outside of POV to see it in the open file 
dialog.

Both Vista and 7 are like this for me. Interestingly, I did have the hidden 
path in the folder path drop-down list while in Vista, yet not in 7. Just 
wasn't thinking of looking there before.

So I'm still believing this could be trouble because navigating away from 
these hidden files (while files are set to be hidden, the default) then 
later try to return it becomes likely you won't be able to use the open file 
menu to get there until changing to view hidden files again (outside POV, as 
said already).

Hope I'm making sense.

Bob
