A relation rang me almost in tears on the weekend to say they had lost
all of their digital photos in My Pictures folder and the same with
their music in My Music folder. On closer inspection however the files
are still there but cannot be seen. All user data is on a separate
Hard Drive D:\ not the system drive C:\ (XP Proff SP2).
If you use the run command and type D:\My Pictures\Xmas 2004 this sub
folder opens and displays the contents, but if you browse to My
Pictures through Windows Explorer none of these sub folders or any
files within the root of the folder can be seen.
Is this an issue with the Desktop.ini or Windows Shell?
Can the desktop ini be replaced from another installation or would
they have to do a system repair?
Could it be related to a virus as they recently opened an e-mail from
a hijacked outlook address book.
Any help appreciated
John
