Problem: Files/Folders not showing

[Guest]

Hi everyone! Anyone with any ideas of what to do would be very very helpful!

I decided to add some music files to my D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads folder
when I noticed that all of my files and folders that are labeled k-z are
gone! All of the
#-J folders are there, but who knows what happened to the k-z files! Anyway,
I became worried about my itunes program and went to check some of the files
that are "missing" and they play perfectly! So I assume that the
files/folders are still there, yet I have no idea how to make them appear.
Any ideas?

ps. I checked the Recycle Bin and I checked "show hidden folders," yet no
change.
I also restarted the computer to only come up with no change.I then thought
that maybe by searching for any of the k-z files/folders I would find
something, but the search came up with nothing.

Since I have the theory that Windows is just not showing any of my k-z
files/folders, I tried to save something in my D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads
folder under a name that starts with m and it didn't show up. THEN I tried to
save something with the letter b and it showed up! *sigh* This is getting so
frustrating.

You must have a lot of files.
Folders View (increase from 400 to 8000)

By any chance can you "dumb down" the instructions for me? I saved
bags8000.reg to numerous folders, attempting to get it to work in my
D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads folder [I wasn't sure where to excatly save it
to, so I saved it in D:\Jenny\My Music\Downloads, D:\Jenny\My Music,
D:\Jenny, and C:\Program Files ]. After saving it in all of these places, I
contiuned on with the instrucations..."Double click it and answer yes to the
import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the
file and selecting Edit."...yet no change. I also tried logging out and then
back in, hoping for some change, but yet again no change.

Am I doing something wrong? When I heard your response of "change from 400
to 8000 folders view" it made perfect sense! I guess I wish it would just
work
