I messed up, big time... I think.
I'm not very familiar with Windows 7 and I got on my dad's computer and when I sign on it says a file called, "javaupdates.exe" wants to open and I chose no... then I look for the file which is located in C:\Users\Mac\AppData
OK, so Mac is the name my dad gave his computer or whatever but when I opened the Users folder it said Public and Mac were the only folders in there so I opened Mac folder and the AppData folder was NOT in there so I assumed it was just a "Hidden" folder, so what I did was right click on the folder and chose properties and where is says "Attributes" and says Read Only and Hidden, I believe I selected "Hidden" hoping it would show me the hidden files, well all of the sudden EVERYTHING disappeared. Everything on the desktop is GONE! I try to open FireFox and it says it's already open yet doesn't show up in the task manager.
So, I went back to the "Users" folder and right clicked to get properties hoping I could "un-hide" the Mac folder but I couldn't. However, when I right click on the Users folder and get properties I see the Previous Versions tab. I click on it and BAM, there it is! I see the Mac folder and I can double click it and open it and everything, but I can't move it back to the Users folder, it says it's already there! The restore button at the bottom of the screen doesn't let me click it, it's just gray. When I click to see where the location of the Mac folder is, it says, \\localhost\C$\@GMT-2013.09.13-20.46.51\Users
WTF?
When I right click the Mac folder it has a solid box in the "Read Only" part highlighted and the Hidden part has a box with no check mark in it!
How do I get everything back to normal???? I can't see ANYTHING on my desktop anymore but it's all there, the Mac folder is still SOMEWHERE! I saw everything and opened them and got the stuff to open but I can't get it to show up where I need it. Please Please PLEASE help me!!!
Thanks a lot!
