Posted September 7, 200816 yr I have a folder in which the files and folders in it have disappeared. However, they are still there, they are just not showing in Explorer. I know this for two reasons: 1) if I create a new folder it is named New Folder(x) it will then disappear. The next New Folder will be named New Folder(x+1) (it will also disappear). Thus, Explorer obviously knows that these folders are still there, it just doesn't show them. 2)If I go into Media Player and select Open File Location (these folders contain mp3's) I can get to the missing folders and I have been able to move them to another folder but if I try to recreate the sub-folder in the original folder, it just disappears again. So, obviously, the files/folders haven't been deleted, they are just somehow hidden. I have done the obvious by making certain that Folder Options are set to show hidden, system, and protected files. I have done system-wide searches for the missing folders to no avail.
