I updated, but it didn't seem to work. In fact now my music and pictures libraries are also hidden.

And I tried out the command prompt again.

I have no idea why my computer is so strange, and I'm so sorry that I have to keep asking for help, so thanks a lot.

Dawn,

Aa a test, create a new administrator account to see if the library folders are hidden in it as well when you are logged in it. If not, then you might consider copying what you want from the old account's user folders into the new account's user folders. Plus, copy any shortcuts from the Start Menu not already in the new account's Start Menu. After everything checks out, you could delete the old user account.

I think I'll do it in a few weeks, because I won't be around for a while. I'll post what happens then.

Hello Brink,
Thank you very much for this useful tutorial. I successfully unhid my libraries using the command promt. However, my libraries is still looking like this after I clicked on restore default libraries.

Could you please give me some advice on how to completely restore my libraries to its default view?
Thank you!

Hello Aveceux,

I'm not sure what you mean. That is the default view for libraries. Could you be more specific on what is missing or what you wanted to see instead.

I am really sorry, Brink. I should have been more specific.
My libraries used to look like this.

But after I unhid it, it is now looking like the pictrure I attached on #44.
Could you see the difference?
I think they are both tiles view but the size and the position of those icons are just different.

Aveceux,

I notice the expansion arrows missing on the left side of them, but if you hover over Libraries in the navigation pane while it's selected, they should reappear.
