What the??? Strange reversion of folder!
I have an Acer Aspire One with Windows7. I was working as usual, saving files to a folder I created called "Documents" on the C drive.
"Documents" contains thousands of files I imported from my old computer through an external hard drive. It's been working great.
Suddenly, without warning or alert or notification, the folder "Documents" reverted to what it looked like about seven weeks ago. When I was first importing stuff from the external hard drive to "Documents," I did half of the folders, then the other half about a day later. I now have that first half of those folders, without the additional files I have added in the past seven weeks. The second half of the folders has completely disappeared.
There is nothing in the recycling bin. The folders have not been moved to another accessible location. Searches for my missing files find the shortcuts and/or "recently used" notations, but no files. The computer has no record of these files other than the shortcuts.
All folders and files outside this "Documents" folder are fine and up-to-date. A game I installed about an hour ago is fine. My browser's history is fine. I just have problems in this one folder.
Does anyone have a CLUE what could have happened???!!
