  1. User folder is hidden on PC


    On my system whenever I open file explorer I can't view my user folder, which is my name. The only way I can access it is by opening AppData with Windows + R.For example, if I open file explorer I have these options:Quick AccessThis PCNetworkOn the other hand, if I open through Win + R, I have:Quick Access My Name <--- This is the folder I am missingThis PCNetworkI don't know why it doesn't show, or how to fix it. I have hidden files set to show.

    :)

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  3. How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin User folder is hidden on PC :D

    User folder is hidden on PC

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
