Try hitting Windows Key + R to open explorer. Click Tools/Options and nose
around the view to see if you see that the files are set to not show hidden
files. SORRY I can't quote the exact path right now, but I just shut down my
Win98 system and not sure if this WinXP system is the same.
But you want to see if files are set to be not show hidden. If so, uncheck
that so you can see them.
Then Right click a folder you can now see and click Properties. Look on that
dialog to see if the Hidden property is set. If so...uncheck it and it
should be back. Not sure what is causing files to become hidden, unless you
have the doc folder set to hidden so all new folders under it are becoming
hidden, too????
If you can see the folders, but you KNOW where one is...you can remove the
hidden attribute by using the dos command like so...
* click start/run
* type command and hit enter to open a command prompt
* type cd\ and hit enter to start at the root dir
* type: attrib [drive]:\[path] -h [enter]
...where drive is the drive letter and path is the folder path to the
folder with the hidden attribute. Then type -h to subtract the hidden
attribute and hit enter to accept the command.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Subject: [mso] Folders appear to be hidden
Hi All,
Just a simple one,*smile*, I have a problem where sub folders within my "my
documents folder" appear to be hidden or have disappeared. The thing is
that when I go in there and arrow around for them I cannot find them but yet
if I do a search for the files contained within them I can find them and
have to copy and paste them back into the main "my documents folder".
My anti-virus program shows up nothing in the way of a virus so am just
wondering about this.
I'm using win98 S.E on this machine with office 2000.
Many thanks,
Paul.
