help. I was desperately searching for a Word document I'd been working on
all day ... I had saved it numerous times, but after exting Word could not
find the doc.
It was originally an email attachment, so I went to hunt around for a "temp"
folder where it might be stored. It soon became clear to me that all the
pertinent folders are "hidden," so I went about checking the "show hidden
files" box for several of the folders under \documents and settings.
Long story short, now ALL of the contents of "My Documents" are showing up
as "hidden." If I uncheck show hidden files" they all disappear. If I check
the box, they show up in translucent colors as hidden files.
What now?
thanks,
Mary
