lost of folders

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

hello

i have installed the foldergaurd in my system and restricted some very
important folders in the system and also i have made them hidden, but when i
again want to check them next day, they are even invisible to me and i got
scared and uninstalled the software from my system, in view that this can
solve my problem but this is not happened, they are still invisible to me
though they are in the memory of the harddisk, i can know this when i found
the total memory of the viewable folders is far less then then the total used
memory shown by the windows, can you please help me in restoring my very
important folders to get back to me, this is my life and death problem
thanks and regards

Hi,

Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options
so you can see hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types".
