    Documents Library Greyed Out


    My "Documents" Library is showing up as greyed out in the Library's folder and I have no idea why. Anyone have an idea?

    jetablack4,
    Did it ever show up?
    You may want to restore your system back to when it was working.
    Might want to give this a go....System Files - SFC Command - Vista Forums
    and see if you have a bug lurking. IMHO

    Hello Joe,

    The folder (library) is actually faded indicating that the library is hidden now. By default, it shouldn't be hidden. You can use the tutorial below to fix this. :)

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Thanks Brink that fixed the problem.

    THW - thanks for the link, I ran the command prompt and nothing showed up as corrupt. However, my computer has been acting funny lately so I am currently running malwarebytes to see if there is something running in the background.

    Thanks for the help!

    Make sure you do the full scan............which usually takes an hour + to scan.
    Now that Brink nailed it did I remember the hidden file tutorial. Way to go Brink!!
    That's why the pay him the big bucks..
