This problem only happened at this instance and never before.
I moved a folder from the desktop to a subfolder under c:\ now the folder neither to be found on the desktop neither on c:\
However when I do a search in windows explorer I find the files in the search result and location is displayed as desktop. When I click the files from within the search option in doesn’t open and I get the error message mentioned before.
Folders, subfolder and files disappeared after moving from desktop to c:\ drive. Can be seen in Windows explorer in original location but can't be opened.
1.) I moved a folder by using drag and drop from the desktop to a subfolder on the hard drive c:\images
2.) The folder contained 3 subfolders all containing different images
3.) After the move I logged out and logged in with a different user (user privileges)
4.) The folder that I moved was not visible in c:\images
5.) I logged out and logged back in with the first user (admin privileges)
6.) The folder was not visible anywhere
7.) Now when I do a search in windows explorer the folder and all files are found by explorer in the original location (desktop) and the images can be seen in the preview (view – Extra Large Icons) with all the information about file size, etc. I can clearly see all images.
8.) However the folder is not visible on the desktop
9.) When I try to open any folder or file I get the following error messages:
The file "c:\Users\alex\desktop\designs\images1.jpg" does not exists or cannot be read. Please check the file name and access privileges.
Other Information:
Operating System: Windows Vista
There were no errors during the move but once I drag and dropped the folder there was a window mentioning that I need administrator privileges to move the folder which I had.
