Windows 10: Unable to open a Folder

Hi, I'm unable to open a folder, I get the following message;
"my docs is not accessible, The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable".
I cant delete the folder but yet I can rename. When I hover over the folder it shows empty, but which i look at properties it shows it has 7 sub-folders.

I'm not worried about saving the info as i have a back-up.
The path is, C:\users, Davy Edwards\Documents\my docs.
I'm using Windows 10 version 1909

Unable to open document folders

Hi Sherry,

There are several possible reasons why you're experiencing this such as malware infections, system file corruptions, etc. For us to isolate your concern, we'll be needing answers to the following:

• Are you receiving any error messages when you try to open the folders that you mentioned?
• Have you tried opening other folders and see if the issue persists?
• Do you encounter the same issue with other user accounts on your computer?

If you only have a single user account, we suggest creating another one with admin privileges. To do so, follow the steps on this

article.

Regards.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

 

Opening a Folder in VC++

I've recently started learning VC++ and it's coming along quite nicley, I've now been given a little task by my boss to add a button to an excisting Incident report program.

All the button needs to do is open a new explorer window and open the folder selected in the incident report program. There isn't a deadline for it, it's just to assist in my learning.

I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, i just need a few suggestions on how to do this so i'm looking in the correct direction?

Thanks
