Solve It If U can.......

[pushkar1986]

I had folder full of audio songs...I had set hidden atribute to it.
today a strange thing happened.The containts disappeared.I removed hidden atribute.But i cant find any thing in it.the size of the folder is showing right(1.5Gb)..i can even run the playlist createn from the songs in that folder...what do u think the problem & solution is????

 

[wizrulz]

use stellar pheonix to check if its on ur hdd....

 

[Vishal Gupta]

I doubt that only HIDDEN attribute of the fo9lder has been removed but the files in the folder are still set to HIDDEN

So just enable option "Show hidden files/folders" from Tools -> Folder Options, and ur all files will be displayed!

bcoz when we hide any folder in XP, it ask us whether to set the attribute to only folder or also its sub-folders, and I think u set the attributes to the files inside the folder also

 

[outlaw]

yeah vishal that might be the reason


or just do a search for the files in x.p [ dont forget to select "search hidden files" option]

Do uv also disabled the option "hide system files/folders" in Folder Options?
May be the attributes of those files hv been set to System, and thats why those files r not showing!

 

[piyush gupta]

if u cant see files but files are played in playlist

why not u copy while folder to some other drive & see if ur files are being copied or not

yeah its not showing files but when copying it shows "from" "to"

open folder

press Ctrl+A

in status bar see if it shows how many files selected or not

Open DOS and navigate to that folder and give following command:

attrib -s -h -r

Check out whether you have used locking programs like Magic Folders that makes the files Invisible.

Open DOS and navigate to that folder and give following command:

attrib -s -h -r

i think this should work

Why don't you use the search facility in XP?

Simply search for the .mp3 or .wav etc files in that particular folder. If they are there than those audio files will be displayed.

After that you can copy-paste to another folder.

[piyush gupta]

why not just copy that path & see weather files exists or not

 

[iMav]

If the playlist was created in WMP and its working, then just right-click on a song in the playlist and select "Open file location", it'll open the folder in which the song is stored
