Windows 7 My user folder is invisible
Hello all,
Somewhere there HAS to be a Windows 7 discussion group, but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the Microsoft discussion groups tree. Someone in here may be able to help or at least point me to a Win 7 discussion group. I have just bought 2 identical machines with Win 7 installed. My user account is there on both (libraries documents right click properties) immediately under c:\users, but when I go to c: drive, I find only public and default, and when invited to "search in sub-folders" an unintelligibnle mish-mash of files and folders appear, and still my own user folder is not visible (even after playing with the alphabetical selection down arrow). I have gone into folder options/view and selected "show hidden folders, files and drives" and even unticked "hide unprotected operating system files". My user account still wont appear so I can get into it and copy my "outlook.pst" file from the old machine into its rightful place on the new ones. If anyone can help me with this issue, and how to get from this mish-mash of flattened out fiolders and files into a real directory structure I'd be most appreciative! |
