Computer" (enable viewing hidden folders), at the Finding application you
must set it again at the special settings (find in hidden folders too).
BUT! Now I have too much .acl files (3), and all of them are in the Office
folder. I'll copy all of them to my new computer into the same place, and
hope it gonna work. (I tried to separate them by the "last modified time",
but unfortunetly the last one has the least size, and it's strange for me,
because I've thought the last modified one would have the bigger size.)
Thanks for your help and patience, Suzanne!
