Your system might have a virus. Do some scans.

If this happened recently, (all files protected), you might go back a couple of days (before it happened), and Windows Restore.

Or you could use the command prompt and the "attrib" command to reset the file attributes.



The folder/file attributes are probably set to "hidden" on the PC.

To Unhide files Enter this from a command prompt replacing "?" with your drive letter and "folder name" with the actual name.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d ?:\folder name\*.*



Then Go to explorer to see your files
