invisible music files

[thepimpinest]

I was looking in my "My Music" folder on my pc one day and when i opened it up all the files were gone. I then proceded to look in the properties of the folder and it said there was 650 mb of music in there and when i use my windows media player it still acts as if the files were there. Is there any way to see if i can make the files appear in the folder again?

Do you have media sharing enabled?

-Control Panel
-Folder Options
-View Tab
-Tick "show hidden files and folders"

-Go to My Music, files should be there, but slightly faded
-Highlight them > Properties and untick hidden (This should stop them being faded)

Then go back to your Control Panel and "Hide hidden files and folders"

That may be whats wrong....

Tim your idea worked. Thank you very much. I also thank Tkey as well.

Lovely
Great way of hiding things you don't want people to see

Glad you fixed it
Media sharing options can also affect files and the way in which windows looks at them.
