Matt in KC Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Time to use your backup plan! Seriously, were they on your c:\ drive and not backed up? If you right-click on the drive, does it look like the space is still used, or free? Under Tools / folder options... is the check box selected to show hidden files and folders?

Cr8ZyA$$BillsFaNnTexas Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Try doing a search for the files but make sure that the search includes " hidden Files " . The other thing I might do is to restore your computer back to a later date. To do this just search for system restore and that should do the trick . Try going to a date when you used some of the files that are lost . This works on my PC . Im using windows XP . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
