windows folder gone. HELP


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

I just installed XP/sp2 and the windows folder is not showing in explorer.

Going through "cmd" it's still on the computer.

 

I also cannot change my keyboard to UK settings, though these are set in

regional/language settings.

 

Can anyone shed some light on how what to do ?

From Command prompt run:

Attrib -s -h C:\Windows

Attrib +S c:\windows

 

 

 

Good Luck, Ayush.

Hello Ayush,

 

tried it but no joy.

the strange thing is that the windows folder shows up fine in PowerQuest

image explorer.

Actually I just remembered that I had a virus on the system today

(system32wxbp.exe) so that might have caused it.

Run the following commands on command prompt and post the output:

Attrib C:\Windows

Type C:\WIndows\Desktop.ini

 

 

 

Good Luck, Ayush.
