How do I change the file attributes back to the way they were? I mistakenly told the computer to CHANGE the files to HIDDEN when I was trying to VIEW the HIDDEN files. Now my desktop is full of ghostly images, my programs list is depopulated, and I can't restore, because restore won't work on the last 3 restore points. Before that, I did major work to get the internect connected, so I am afraid to roll back those changes.
Try opening 'my computer' or 'explorer'. Right click on the 'Program files' folder in the C:\ drive and select properties. On the properties page, under attributes section, you should have a "read only" and "hidden" Click on the hidden item to de-select hidden and click on [OK]. Confirm the change. Repeat this with the windows folder. Some files/folders will remain hidden as a safety feature built into the OS, but the ones that can be restored will return to normal.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??
