Re: Files exist, but the folders that contain them do not show up

When I search for a specific file in one of the

search results show the file to be in the missing
folder. I can
select the file from the search results and open it.
A dir from the
cmd prompt does not show the missing folders, either.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Look again where you set to show hidden files; there
are at least two places you must tick, and if they look
like system files, three. YOu may have missed
something. Explorer; Tools Folder Options; View tab.
