Hoe Recover Invisible Document Folder?
Sep 5, 2009
I am knowledgeable about XP and have used VISTA ultimate for months now but I have found a problem I cant figure out involving the "Document" folder and files under the "Owner" user. Up to to a few weeks ago I did have the document folder under the user "OWNER" encrypted using Vista encryption option and as expected it would show up as blue file names and could be open and saved under "owner". Now when ever I open up any of the edit programs ( Word, Notepad ) it doesn't show that there is a document folder. If I save a file it goes some were never to be found again. When I look for the document folder ( C: userowner ) All the folders are there Except the document folder. I check under the DOS prompt and it cant see it there. When I try and create a document folder it says that it already exist.

I'm a newbie in this forum and am desperately seeking help for a problem I'm having with my Pictures folder. Please excuse the lack of technical jargon! I know it's sounds really stupid and I'm sure it's a User Based Problem but I seem to have lost my original Pictures folder.I've been going into the Pictures folder that had my pictures in it under my Personal folder, but am now trying to delete another Pictures folder that has cropped up. Everytime I delete the new one (that has heaps of dropdown folders off it) the original one stops working. Now I've tried going into PropertiesLocation of the original folder and restoring the default location (because it's currently showing the location as C:UsersKaiPicturesPicturesPictures). When I try to restore it to the default that comes up when I hit that button (C:UsersKaiPictures) it comes up with the Move Folder warning, I hit Yes, then get a error that says "Can not redirect descendant into parent, the specified path is invalid".

I was clearing out space on my computer. I ran across a folder called "recently changed" I had never heard of a folder called that? I opened the folder and there was a log of everything I have done for at least 2 weeks. So I emptied the folder. What a mistake! I have lost pictures that I have downloaded within the last month. I really would like to get these pictures back.

I have a similar problem as that of Duke of URL. I have the same workgroup name for my vista desktop and my xp laptop and when I try to share my vista Documents folder to the xp, I get an access denied error message when trying to open the vista folder from the xp pro. it will not allow me to add a username from the xp pro to share when selecting Share options, only users on the vista. It does not recognize any users from the xp pro. I have all the network sharing features on except for password protected sharing and media files, but cannot add a user from the xp pro laptop to the Documents folder.
The permissions are wide open and still I cannot access the files on the vista, but I don't have any problem accessing the xp pro files from the vista home premium. I don't want to use a public folder as I want to be able to view all of the files and then access the files for read or edit in my Documents folder on the vista from my xp pro............

I have an ACER laptop with a dual hardrive, so I decided I'd relocate my music folder so that it wouldn't clog up my main drive and allow me to store instead on the second. I accidentally did it to my Documents folder instead, and then after my Music folder. All is well but I now seem to have 2 Music folders to the D drive and no more Documents folder. Here is what I mean:

I know I can easily Move the Documents/Pictures folders by modifying the location form in the folder's properties, but how do I move my Josh (user) folder? I set up a seperate partition where I want this folder to go, where I'll store all my movies, pictures etc. Oh btw I've just done a full format so the user files are empty, I'm just going to move it to a new location and then move my backed up files over.

I tried moving My Documents folder to my D: drive and now have big problems! The whole folder disappeared. After searching the net for answers I altered some Registry settings (which was stupid I know) but was able to get My Documents folder back under Desktop. Now I don't have a User profile under C:Users, just a Public folder. Here's the good part, if I right-click on My Documents folder in the Start Menu it says that my Location is C:UsersmyUserName which clearly doesn't exist.
Then if I click on myUserName in Windows Explorer it has every folder in the right hand pane except for the "Documents" folder but if I expand the tree of the username on the left hand side of Windows Explorer it has a Documents folder and all my files are dispayed in the right hand pane. Also my NTUSER.dat file is in myUserName folder under Desktop not under C:Users**** where it's supposed to be. Have tried System Restore several times but it makes no difference. Does any of this make any sense? How restore my "Personal" folder under C:Users and the proper registry settings that I should have?

I am having issues with Excel - when I create a spreadsheet, it prints fine on any computer running Vista, but when I send the file to anyone not using Vista, the margins are incorrect and the document prints on 6 pages instead of one - no matter how I have it formatted.

I recently bought a new PC with Windows Vista (Home Premium) and migrated my old Outlook Express folders and emails as per the Help instructions. All appeared well as all the old folders appear in Windows Mail. However there appear to be NO emails in any of the folders. What is also strange is that some of these apparently empty folders appear in bold displaying the number of unread emails in the folder. Presumably some indexing fault has occurred - repeated attempts at importing have failed.

Dirve 0: Primary Partition for current XP, another Primary Partition for a new install of Vista Drive 1: The data drive. I absolutely must have the data drive, Drive 1, be the D drive. I have a lot of applications that expect to find the data there and I need to switch between the two OS's seamlessly (I am a software developer and testing in both OS's)
I have tried installing Vista twice now and both times the D drive is the XP primary partition. It looks like Microsoft is using the XP partition as the boot partition, even when booting Vista. The XP partition is first, so I am not surprised. What I need is some way of booting up so that the partition that XP is on is hidden, which I know is one of the states a Primary partition can be in. Back in years gone by, I did this with System Commander, but there has to be a less expensive (free) way of doing it today.

In Explorer's left pane there is a down arrow used I believe to close the Folders. When I click this down arrow the folders become invisible (closed) but I'm unable to reopen them unless I close Explorer and reopen it. Also, without having to to install 3rd party software, is there a way in Explorer tot display ONLY the Folder structure of my drives? I want only to 'see' C: open and the other drives closed. I'm using Vista Home Basic SP1

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 Build 6001 SP1.1 year old Some of the symptoms are: When I click on System Restore the process starts (visible in Process Explorer) but the UI it is not visible. I used System Restore from Vista Repair to restore to a moment before the start of these symptoms. The symptoms persist. Task Manager also remains invisible. However I can use Process Explorer (Sysinternals) When I click on? Turn Windows features on and off? Windows Features? box is displayed with?
When trying to uninstall a program or to install an msi file, Windows Installer displays "Preparing to install." and remains so forever. Click Cancel, after 10 min or so?Install server is not responding, or, Could not find Install Server? When I shut down the computer Logging off is displayed until I use one of the hardware buttons. Chkdsk found nothing wrong.Sfc /scannow doesn? start.In Safe Mode it is impossible to start any program. Otherwise, most programs work fine although they go frequently in Not responding mode. I used all AV, Spyware and rootkit scanners for x64 I could find. Same result: No infection! I see only one explanation: one or more Vista System files are corrupted or missing. How can I repair Vista without having to reinstall al programs and settings? Is it possible to trick Vista to make an Upgrade Install (which I understand
keeps the programs and settings) from Ultimate to Ultimate? When I try a message tells me that I can upgrade only to a newer version.

A multitude of files, folders and sub-folders have disappeared (all from my "Documents"). Miscellaneous sub-folders within folders have disappeared, while other sub-folders remain intact. At first I was completely lost, as the files were there not 30 minutes prior... After assuming the worst and thinking that they had corrupted or been deleted due to a virus, I:
- Made sure my folder options were set properly (I can view all hidden files)
- Thoroughly checked the recycle bin
- Did numerous searches
- Downloaded Google Desktop and searched some more
- Ran various "undelete" and "recovery" programs with no results
- Did a system restore...........

Whenever I try to print something from the web, I get a 'Save file as' window that shows 'File name *xps' and File type 'XPS Document'. I cannot delete them and I am unable to print because of it.
Can anyone help me?
I have tried Search for xps and get no answer, i.e. it is not shown as being in the computer. I am completely baffled on how to get rid of it.

Yesterday, I opened a document (Office Student 2007) from my e-mail account on the web (not Outlook)
I clicked "Save" repeatedly throughout the day and was never prompted to select "Save As" and when I X'd out, it did not say "Are you sure you want to close without saving?" so, I assumed all was well. However,when I went back to open it, it wasn't there. I searched all the folders, hidden folders, temp internet files, etc. but cannot find it!
I was clicking "Save" so it has to be saved somewhere, right?

I have two documents in the same folder - one an odt document created with Open office and one a doc document also created with Open office but saved as a .doc format. Both were edited and saved today. If I go into the folder using Windows Explorer both show a modified date of today, 9th June. If however I do a SEARCH for the document name (both have the same name), then the .doc document shows a Modified date of today, but the ODT document does not. It shows the Modified Date as the date of creation.Now why should that be?

I sent a document to the printer. For some reason, it isn't printing. So, I've deleted the document from the Printer window. And nothing else will print, because it's sitting there blocking the queue. How can I get Vista to delete that document from the print queue?

Cannot see a Win 7 MS newsgroup so I thought I would ask here, When I use Start Computer I can see all my drives such C: D; the card reader slots and the external hard drive. All but one of these display with an icon that look like a hard dive. But C: display a document icon - rectangle with top right corner folded and holding a 'window' with 6 coloured circles. Any reason you this should be? It is not causing any errors I can detect but looks odd Windows Home Premium 64-bit on an HP computer
