    windows explorer will not display my user directory.


    Hi
    New here... and very new to windows 7. I have the professional version, x64 on a new cyberpower pc desktop computer. When I use windows explorer, I open the directory USERS. it shows :
    default
    public

    My user account is set up as 'username' for example. I can not figure out how to get explorer to list my account's files under users. I have verified that the directory c:\users\username exists.

    Any clue how to get explorer to see my user directory?

    thanks in advance. I'm a former xp user and am having the devil of a time getting used to 7.

    never mind...


    did some research and found this:

    C:\users\username was set to have the following attributes S for system and H for hidden.

    Another user said in dos to use attrib -s -h on the directory and PRESTO! problem solved.

    thanks anyway.

I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit SP1. My user directory under c:/...Users shows a padlock symbol on the folder for user "kevin". I believe that this is the reason this directory will not back up to my cloud drive provider. What does the padlock mean, and how do I remove it?
anyone know how to get those to show without selecting a group of files? i know in xp i was able to enable the status bar and then it would show total size of files in a particular folder but in win7 it only shows a total size when the files are selected. thanks.
This is a minor nuisance but still it wasn't an issue in XP or even Vista. My Windows 7 Pro still shows the name as USER if looking in the folder "C:\". For example, there are 2 user accounts, both Administrators. When Windows 7 boots, you have a choice to log into SAM or JOY. However,...
