ok so i downloaded an ost off BT, but when i extract it to any particular folder it does not show on explorer, but takes space. after extraction i also hear a chime.
the wierd thing is, even if i cant extract it, i can double click the file and play it in media player. wtf?
the ost comes in two volumes. one includes wierd moonspeak and one doesnt (it is all in one RAR) the one without moonspeak extracts fine. :((
the one with the moonspeak is the one with all the good parts!
its the mai hime ost :(

Try setting "Language for non-Unicode programs" to Japanese in the regional/international option of the control panel, reboot and retry?

As a sanity, security, and decency measure, show hidden files and folders, show all files (as opposed to hide system files) and do not hide extensions should be be the first thing you do after installing Windows.
As a sanity, security and decency measure, the guy at Microsoft who decided these options should be set that way by default or they should even exist should be put out of his misery.

You shouldn't need to see hidden files or system files. I only use "Show extensions". I've never downloaded an archive with hidden files, and even if I did I'd just turn on Hidden files for as long as it takes to fix that situation. The window statusbar says stuff like (3 files and 1 hidden) so you can tell anyway.
I'd much rather see a nice clean drive root than see ~$SystemRecycleBin or pagefile.sys or whatever.

If you call a bunch of lusers that smile like a fag with a new dildo up his ass as they publish their first family webpage to MSN using FrontPage extensions written in #FF00FF colored Comic Sans MS "real world", then I'm from the unreal world and sure as hell don't want anything to do with your business, just keep using Internet Explorer to go MSN Search to look for cool Flash Budweiser screensavers. Meanwhile, why not try to drag and drop a disc drive with a PS2 game inside to the volume icon in your system tray covering 75% of your always shown task bar and hope it will automatically play the music of the stages you played using Windows Media Player with Digital Rights Management?
>>8 is a stupid Lunix faggot who thinks he's hardcore because he read the manpage for ls to find the flag that displays hidden files and added it by default using an alias for every user (because no luser is allowed near his box, even though nobody but him went in his basement since 1997) in /etc/profile

Actually, I'm a Windows user. One who usually works in the Win32 console subsystem though (for users to understand: that funny black screen with white characters, like Matrix but they are usually white). Nobody is allowed near my box, luser or not, but I live 10 floors above basement.

Windows console...horrible thing. Bash ftw. I understand there're reasons to not use Linux, but give cygwin a go.
As to the original question, if the files aren't hidden then I would conclude >>1 has a broken archive, or maybe a dud extraction program.

The console is not a "subsystem." Also, the text is gray.

Lol? Bash (as well as zsh, 4NT, and many other shells) have been available for Win32 for years.
I understand there're reasons to not use Linux, but give cygwin a go.
I use a mix of native ports and Cygwin of all common and uncommon utilities (the ones I like, depending on which version I liked more), as well as Win32-only utilities and my own portable scripts.
