Folders Disappeared XP Pro SP3
I thought I sent this reply already . . . well I followed your
suggestions with no results - malware check, virus check, etc. Any other ideas that might work? Goodwill, Luke -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v5.0 Beta 3 Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - |

As Char said, use chkdsk to see if there are any problems with the file system. Do you have backups of your data? Did you perhaps copy these folders to another drive, but mistakenly move instead of copy? Who else has access to the computer? -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ |

I asked about a roommate, but I think I should have also asked about a cat! They've been known to walk on keyboards and even sleep there at times. |

Are you saying the missing folders could be in a .cat file? |
