Hidden files???

[Guest Jen]

Hello! I have a big problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I did

a defragment the other day and now I can't find some of my files. I did a

search for one and it came up "hidden". How can I get these files back to

where they should be? I also can't see "My Pictures" in the "My Documents"

folder...it doesn't appear anymore, but when you look at my picture it says

that is where they are? Does any of this make sence?

Please help!!! I'm clueless.

Thanks a million in advance!

The attribute may have erroneously been reset.

 

 

In Windows explorer

 

go up to tools, folder options. view

 

 

now enable viewing of hidden files

 

 

when you open "My Documents" you should now see "My Pictures"

 

Right click ...look at properties

 

then uncheck "hidden"

 

You can then go back to your folder options and reset to disable viewing

hidden files if you wish.
