files have disappeared

[dingo]

Here is the situation:

I downloaded a program called Folder Lock which basically password protects certain files by placing them in a special folder called 'Locker'.
So I put about 1.9GB of stuff (not porn obviously ) in there but know when I unlock it with my password the files don't appear
The picture below shows that the folder still is ~1.8GB but I can't see or access the files....and they are not 'hidden'



I tried copying the folder to my external HD but the same problem appears on that
Please help me out....I want my non-porn videos back

hmm .... maybe the software changes the file attributes to hidden ...
try opening any of the vid or pic tht was in the folder by entering it in the run thingy in the start menu ...

hmm .. i guess theres a lil hint somewhere here

that doesn't work either It is possible they were changed to hidden but I don't know how to undo this.....in the Folder Options its set to 'show hidden folders'

Oh shit, I knew this would happen....I spent all day trying to figure it out and thought I wouldn't post the question here until I tried everything, and now of course I posted it and have just found the solution
Under folder options I had to unselect 'hide protected operating system folders' and then the files showed up again
I better go now, some videos to watch
