It turns out that the system moved to the directory to a sub directory of My
Documents Userprofile\My Documents\My Documents(system folder with admin
rights only), a system file with only Admin rights. Once it was located all
was good again. I knew it had to be somewhere since it disappear in seconds
just needed to find it.
Cheers
