I have the Google Toolbar installed so that I can check the PR of
sites linking to my site. Recently the Page Rank bar stopped working
along with several other items - View Source and at least one
JavaScript function (history.back()). Now the weired thing is that
this only happens in one user account, all other accounts are OK. I
ran the latest security release from MS and this seems to have fixed
the View Source and JavaScript problems, However the Page Rank bar is
still not working (only on this one account). I think it must have
someting to do with missing folders on that user account. I have
found that the Folder hierarchy in this account stops at Documents
and Settings > User > Local Settings > Temporary Internet
Files. The usual setup is Documents and Settings > User > Local
Settings > Temporary Internet Files > Content.IE5 >
OthersFolders(ABFRGHD). If I run a virus scan on the Doc and Settings
folder I can see that the scanners are looking at files in the folders
that have somehow become hidden > Content.IE > Others. So I have
come to the conclusion that because these folders have somehow become
hidden it is effecting the Google PageRank and was also causing the
View Source and JavaScript problems. Sorry for the length of the post
- anyone seen this before and how to fix the hidden folders.
