No, I didn't. And in fact it is that way for both the regular user settings
on the box. However, I accept that it's possibly a peculiarity of the way my
box is set up. Since I didn't set it up I don't know. I could dig if it
mattered, but it doesn't, really. Anyway, I think Magnus Hagander has
provided a fairly definitive answer to the objections to using this, hidden
or not, so further discussion of whether or not it's hidden on my machine,
and how that came to be, seems fruitless.
