Folders Vanished! Help!

[BlizzardGR]

Ok, this is strange. I was moving some files, putting them into folders and then hid them with the apropriate command in folder options. Somehow those files and folders just dissapeared but the root folder still shows how many MBs are in there!

Please, help me get them back! I can't get them to show!

In a Windows Explorer window:

Tools/Folder Options/View Tab, check 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'.

That's what i did. They don't show up!

The best advice I can think of now is restart your computer. Mine (for example after playing cIV) can have problems with showing folders. But if I restart they show up correctly. Maybe it's something more complex than that, but I can't give a better advice.

Nope, that isn't the case.

Go to search. (advanced search ... or smthing like that)
There has to be an option somewhere "Search hidden & system files". And search for the file.

(i can't point you in the right direction kuz i don't use windows explorer)

If you use a windows machine and open up a folder, say My Documents, you use Windows Explorer. Not to be confused with Internet Explorer, although you could put in a website address in the Windows Explorer address bar and successfully get to that website.

The path would be Start/Search/All Files or Folders, and then click on the 'More Advanced Optoins' dropdown. Then you can select "Search Hidden Files and Folders".

Alright guys,i found the missing files and folders (had to move them through the search window to a different folder).
It's still wierd though, because they were in the folder they were suppose to be but they wouldn't show up. Anyway thanks for the help.
