In Windows 7 & Windows Vista, it’s a slightly different procedure, but it basically takes you to the same “folder options” Screen, just have to take a different path.

– Open your control panel by clicking your Windows Logo (Start Button in lower left corner) and clicking “Control Panel”
– If this is Windows 7, your default view (upper right corner) is “Category”, click the down arrow and change it to “Large Icons”
– If this is Windows Vista, your default view is Category, but it’s not labeled as such. In the upper left corner of the window, click on “Classic View”
– Click “Folder Options”
– Click the “View” Tab at the top
– In the Advanced Settings window, look for a yellow folder named “Hidden files and folders” right below that is a radio button next to “Show hidden files and folders”, Click that.
– Click “Apply”, then click “OK

Now, in your C:\EDGE Jobs folder, you will see a “Backup” Folder.
