Why is devcon.exe invisible to EG in system32 folder?

Post by kkl »

I would like to use devcon.exe via EG's Start Application action. It resides in the Windows\System32 folder and I can see it via Windows Explorer. However, when I use the Start Application dialog to choose the executable, devcon.exe does not show up in the list of files. If I make a copy to C: root, it is visible. The file is not hidden. I thought I was going crazy for awhile. Anyone know why this happens?
