    Windows 7 C:\Users Visible via CMD command line, But Not In Explorer

    That was a good article - thanks. I checked attrib on a Vista machine's user\userid (where userid is a username) and, oddly enough, my user dir there shows S & H but not R, which is opposite of what you found. That's weird because it differs from what you've found on your own machine but is the...

    Windows 7 C:\Users Visible via CMD command line, But Not In Explorer

    Windows 7 C:\Users Visible via CMD command line, But Not In Explorer

    Windows 7 C:\Users Visible via CMD command line, But Not In Explorer

    Windows 7 C:\Users Visible via CMD command line, But Not In Explorer

    Hi all, I have a problem I've never encountered in any version in Windows. My C:\Users directory has disappeared from Explorer, but I *can* open CMD and use the command line to get to it (cd c:users\userid\..... etc.). I have set folder options to show hidden files and folders, but I still don't...
