    Also found this on the WinMend FAQ - not sure if it applies to the free version

    I am using WinMend Folder Hidden, and I failed to unhide the file. How to find my data that disappear in the hidden list?


    If you using our software WinMend Folder Hidden, and failed to unhide the file or folder. Please do as below:
    First of all, please answer following questions, which is directly related to the possibilities of re-obtaining your Hidden files or folder.
    1. What is your Operating System, 32-bit or 64 bits and the language?
    2. Which version of WinMend Folder Hidden are you using?
    3. Have you run any cleaning software after hiding your files?
    4. What anti-virus program are you using?
    5. Can you recall anything unusual (such as a system crash or system restore or system reinstall) after hiding your folder(s)?

    Second, please Download the attachment by clicking here: FindData.zip, then uncompress it.

    Third, run FindData.exe, select the drive where you hide your file, select the drive's tpye (FAT, FAT32, or NTFS) and then press "Find Data" button.

    Last Step, please copy the string the strings appear in the textbox and your answer to the questions and send it to us: support@winmend.com. After we get the answer and strings, we will decrypt it and tell you how to get your hidden folder back.

    Recommend you cease any activity on the HD which holds your data - if you have another HD lying around you could try reinstalling your OS on that and retain your existing HD for an undelete/recovery program.

    Keep us posted and regards

    Which was why I recommended that you cease any further activity on your HDD, unless the OS and data you are after are on separate partitions and/or media. The only way to resolve this then would be via an undelete/recovery program - I'm assuming you simply reinstalled over the corrupted (previous) OS. Most likely, the registry entries for the previous installation are gone which could be why you are not able to recover (or find) the missing data. Possible ways to resolve this:

    1. Recover (or locate) the missing data - essential that you do not try any further activity on the affected HDD in case your system writes new data to the (old) storage location on your HDD
    2. Proceed with course of action as stated by Boobah


    Keep us posted and hope things work out

    Edit

    Seems you have solved your problem :)
    disregard my post above

    Julian an update for you the new WinMend Folder Hidden 1.4.1 is better then the older version bcz even if select a folder which is already hidden & you click "unhide" & it stays in the list & status shows 'visible' & then you can select it again & click 'set hide' & its hidden again...in earlier version its gone from the list once you want it to be "unhide" & then have to map it again to be hidden....Woww nice discovery......i guess yeah we can use this thread as future ref....Thnx buddy again
