    I've no idea what happened. they are just gone.Computer works good.
    I tried the unhide bit ,that didn'r help.I had a lot of pictures and documents in my computer in the 4 years I've had it.
    I got w-10 a month ago. and that seems to be working ok now.

    Did you try a search for them. Just use a wild card *. jpg or whatever extension you had for your pictures.

    If you open File Explorer, do you see the Documents and Pictures folders?
