Hello I am trying to locate various files that have mysteriously went missing. Most of the files were once located in my Library Folders. Now though they aren't visible. I know they are still there though because the space is being taken up. For example I can right click on a folder such a My Documents and see how much space is being used. Then when I go into My Document and select the visible files and right click the space they take up is much much less than the whole folder. This leads me to believe that the files are still there just not visible. I also can't find files by searching for them. I can access these files by using the run command prompt though. I have even opened some of these files such as a video I have been making in Adobe Premiere Elements because it is on the previous files list of the Premiere Elements program. The folders though aren't even visible within this program when trying to import/export files and such. I hope what I have written is understandable and that someone could help me to solve this problem which is very frustrating.

Hi If you can access these files from a command prompt, just use the 'Copy' command to move them to a different location. Type Copy /? to see the syntax and switches. I would create folders on the Desktop, copy the files to these folders and then to wherever you wish. Hope this helps. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Maybe they are stored in a temporary folder, or they are hidden. I suggest you launch cmd.exe with administrator, then enter the following commands: cd \ dir /s [file name] This command can help you to check the location of a file.Arthur Xie - MSFT
