Folders & documents on desktop missing after windows automatic update
Hello all.
There was an automatic update on Wednesday and after that all the folders on my desktop are missing.
I don't think they were deleted but I don't have access to them.
I did find a clue. I was able to open a notepad document I had on the desktop (missing after the update) by going to the Start menu and hovering over Notepad. A list of recent documents appears to the right and I was able to open the missing document that way. Then I went to do a "save as" to find out where it was and it was in the config.msi file. However that file is locked. I think all the folders are there too.
How do I unlock it?
Or if that cannot be done, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to access the folders?
