Solved User Files accidentally hidden. How to see them again

[sportzdaD]

Somehow, I ticked the 'hidden' tic box several hours ago on the top folder in my user account, which is also my admin account. I am still logged on however, I have LOST all my documents.

I thought I was ticking it to SHOW any hidden files, but I was obviously mistaken.

Is there a way to recover from this and get them back?

This is job related and urgent, any help is appreciated!

Welcome
I am sure that, unless deleted somehow, this tutorial will help

File and Folder - Hide or Unhide

If this does not do the job, go to search and type the name of one of the documents or a phase that would be located in one of the docs. This may help find the files.

Thanks! This fixed it. Thats GOT to be the dumbest thing I've ever done and if I were not up for 36 hours now, trying to ship all my remaining xmas orders , I would have eventually figured it out. Great to find this forum and get help so quickly.

+1 for you guys!!
