Hello everyone,

I had a folder on my desktop containing my photos(~4.5 GB). It has recently become an unaccessible "file" that is unassociated. I tried opening it with winrar in the hopes that it was a compressed folder, but no. Does anyone have any clues about how this happened or how to fix it? Much thanks in advance.
