folder file names have disappeared

L

When I open my documents the first tier of folders/files don't have names
anymore. If I try to rename them the original name appears but when I hit
enter or retype the name and hit enter it goes away again. If I click on the
folder to open the contents those folders/files have names. Any idea what to
do to get these back? Thanks Lisa

Open My Computer, and drag right the line between the Name column and the
next one, in the column title bar to widen the Name column.

See Tip #2 here

To turn off filenames, hold down the Shift key when you click to open a
folder in Windows Explorer or when you switch into thumbnail view. This
will turn off the file names, giving more space for the thumbnails.
Doing it again turns them back on.
