Windows 10: All file types don't open, in some particular folders.

Greetings,


My C drive was almost full and I needed to expand its space. To do so, some free unallocated space must exist after the C drive in the "Disk Management" window. I had only one more driver D and therefore I created another driver E and moved all files from D to E and C before I deleted D and allocated some of its space to C. Next, I used the rest of the unallocated space after C to recreate D and moved files back from E and C to the newly-created D. Now, all files that moved back from E to D are working fine, while all files with all types that moved back from C to D are not working and I am not able to open them and they don't work on other laptops either. I hope someone can understand my text and could advise me on how to solve this very frustrating issue. I would highly appreciate your support in helping to save my very important PhD files. Thanks in advance.


Kind regards,

Saher

Windows 7 Snipping Tool / (Screen Shots-Capture)

1. In the Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab first check ( tick ) the Show hidden files, folders and Drives and then Apply.
2. Now navigate to C:\ Program Data \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Program.
   
3. Inside this Program folder , you will find the 'Accessories' folder.
4. Drag and drop the Accessories Folder on your Start Menu or All programs.

Did this work ?

If all works again i suggest to go back to Step 1 and re-select Don`t show hidden files. folders and Drives then Apply. so you don`t accidentally delete some of these.
