My sister is using Vista Home edition and cannot find a number of her file folders. She is sure they have not been deleted but they do not appear in any view. How can I find her "lost" folders? Did you try going to "Search" at the top of the screen? IF you open up "Documents" at the top on the right should be a place to "Search", try this. Also, if you go to the "Start Button" at the bottom of your screen and open it up (this is where all of your programs and such are), there should be a blank box at the bottom, type in the document name (exact name if you know it). I couldn't find one of my work files and I tried it the last way and I found it because it's telling the computer to search all programs and user accounts too. if you do find it, look at the top of the window and it will tell you where it's located. Hope this helps!

Hi, This issue may be part of on Spyware called System Fix / Remove System Restore (Uninstall Guide) This infection will hide all of the files on your computer. So first we have to fix that issue. For that Please select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. After the new window appears select the View tab. Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders. Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files. After this please press the Apply button and then the OK Press on the key Alt+Crtl+Delete key on the keyboard. Now you will get a new window called Task Manager. Now hold the Ctrl key on the key board and click on File, New Task on the Task Manager. Now you will get a new black window. Inside that black window type CD/ and hit on enter. Now type ATTRIB –H –R –S /S /D and hit on enter. It will unhide all of the files on your computer.
