Guest JFelstead@googlemail.com Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 A relation rang me almost in tears on the weekend to say they had lost all of their digital photos in My Pictures folder and the same with their music in My Music folder. On closer inspection however the files are still there but cannot be seen. All user data is on a separate Hard Drive D:\ not the system drive C:\ (XP Proff SP2). If you use the run command and type D:\My Pictures\Xmas 2004 this sub folder opens and displays the contents, but if you browse to My Pictures through Windows Explorer none of these sub folders or any files within the root of the folder can be seen. Is this an issue with the Desktop.ini or Windows Shell? Can the desktop ini be replaced from another installation or would they have to do a system repair? Could it be related to a virus as they recently opened an e-mail from a hijacked outlook address book. Any help appreciated John
