| 240226 | 2004-05-29 10:08:00 | My Documents seem to have become hidden, The path C:\Documents and Settings\defult\My Documents - if followed through windows explorer, the My Documents are not there. When I open my Documents through the Desktop it apears empty, but when I opn someting from My Recent Documents in the Start menue it will open. I therefor think that a the documents are all still there but hidden. Could this happen? How do I fix it? Running Win XP Pro |

| 240230 | 2004-05-29 12:03:00 | Agree with Beema unless you have moved them? I keep mine on a separate partition as drive E with all data. Have you been playing around with anything like that? | Scouse (83) | ||
