This is the screen that pops up when the files contained in the disk are supposed to be viewed by users with real intent of using them safely. The screen directly states that the files contained in the folder the user intend to open, are hidden because they keep enabling the computer system to work properly. The screen therefore instructs that the contents of the disc should not be modified because. However, the screen gives the option of showing the files to the user who intends to view them. The screen indicates cautionary information to the user in order to protect the computer system.
The implied information is that the files contained in the disc are computer system files that should not be interfered with. The implication is that the user can still view them. It also implies that the user can open the disk if it contains files of interest to him or her. To critically think on the details of the whole message, it is always recommended that the meaning of information be evaluated in entirety and not piecemeal interpretation (Gardner 91). It is for this reason that the screen offers another message showing the option to open the folder and view the files.
This screen message is placed to inform, instruct and caution the actions of computer users on the level of importance of various files in the system. The message is written by the software engineers of Microsoft XP to all the users of the operating system. This reveals the tender relationship between Microsoft software developers and customers. The software developers seek to educate and guide customers to use Microsoft software in a safe and a continued manner without disruptions caused by ignorance of the users.
