I was reorganizing some files in My Documents by dragging them into new
folders. Then, I noticed that all but two folders (about 6-8 folders) went
missing including My Pictures, My Videos, and some folders I created. I
couldn't find them anywhere, even doing a search of the entire disk
including Recycle Bin.
Then, I noticed references to a few of the lost folders in My Recent
Documents. When I double clicked on them, the folder and its entire contents
returned under My Documents. I've found and "recovered" a few folders this
way but not all. I even found an individual file from a lost folder whose
name was not in the recent files. When I double clicked, it couldn't find
the file but offered to browse for it. When I browsed, I was able to see
that missing folder and all it's missing subfolders.
When I find a folder, I drag the contents to a different drive -- which
seems to save the files.
Even these "found" folders aren't reset properly. They show up in the folder
section of the Explorer Bar under My Documents but these folders do not show
up in the file pane when I select My Documents. If I select one of these
special folders in the explorer bar, the files and subfolders do show in the
file pane. These folders also don't show up in a directory listing under
Command Prompt. I'd like to find the folders still missing.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
