    Users folder is gone from C


    i was trying to show my hidden folder in c\users\ricky\ by going through right click properties- show hidden, after that ricky disappeared, so i did the same in Users, now my users folder is gone, i cant access system restore, Ricky is available through the side pane, but says the folder is empty, cant access hidden options through the control panel, or through tools, or organize, iv searched and all i could find was those fixes, since i cant access them im screwed. i have win7 ultimate 32bit

    you say you cant access organize whats the error message ?

    the normal route would be when in a folder click organize then the view tab then click the radio button show hidden files folders and drives then apply ?

    Maybe you have Hidden the folder.

    Try this:

    Open Windows Explorer:

    Click Organise / Folder Options.

    Select the view tab.

    And under hidden Files and Folders, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives.

    Click Apply and OK.

    Now right click the Users Folder and select Properties, unselect Hidden and then you can Select "Don't show hidden files, folders, or drives" again.

    It should now be visible if not, maybe you moved the whole actual User Folder. Search for "Users" from the Start Menu and click it to see its location: if you do not have Windows Search either:

    Then when you have it's location, move it to it's original location: (C:\) or whatever drive you use for your OS or wherever you will remember.

    Good luck and let me know.

    Thanks Joe.

    when i click organize, there is no view tab, nor is there a hidden files tab, iv tried searching but to no avail, and i know i didnt move or delete it, all i did was tell the system to show hidden files within that folder and then the file disappeared.

    There is only a View Tab when you click Folder Options.

    Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide

    Click Organize, then click Folder Options.

    If not, show us a screenshot.

    You have no restore points. Too bad. You should activate system restore. But that will only help in the future.
