Folder hide

Normally you do not get hidden folders but you use 2 explorer (or equal applications) and move folders in one, switch to the other and try to access the just moved folder without a refresh. The second explorer is not up to date and will be the message you described in your question.

BTW: The most often happening way of creating this folder movements is by trying to open, but grabbing and dropping God knows where instead. Easily done and not so easy to find.

If this is what's happening, or one is working in two or more running Explorer(s), hit the Undo button from the Edit menu on the last used Explorer...

Good luck.

This usually happens when you have deleted or moved a folder (either by mistake or on purpose), and your Explorer window has not 'refreshed'. If the move or delete as just happened you can use 'undo' from edit menu. Hitting the 'F5' key or use 'refresh' from view menu, will clean up the window. If 'undo' doesn't work and you wanted the deleted folder try looking in the trash bin and restore.

Hope this helps -- and watch out for the wandering Delete Key.
