    My Documents/My Pictures Folder not displaying content...
    « on: May 15, 2011, 04:44:14 AM »
    The My Pictures folder(1) and the files contained therein(272) are using several hundred MB, yet it does not dislay any of the files or folders. When i used the search option, i noticed that the My Documents folder also did not have it's path attached as the rest ( Documents and Settings, etc. )do. This is odd and i am perplexed. Tried everything i can think of and used some researched options to no avail; so I've come here for some assistance. Help please...

    1. What an unpleasant username you have chosen. It might put people off, it kind of makes you say "What's that smell?" to yourself.
    2. What do you mean "it" does not display any of the files or folders? Windows Explorer? You just see empty folders?

        You did not receive an email from me. You may have received an automatic email from ComputerHope telling you that there was a reply in your thread. You answer it in the same way that you made the above post that I quoted.

          OK. Sorry. I've never used a forum before. It's a little confusing.

          Well, are you going to answer or not? So far, either by accident or not, we have wasted a lot of time on somebody who insists on naming himself after a bad smell. I hear a clock ticking...

              Here's how it works. You post a question (as you did). Someone posts an answer (as Salmon Trout did). Then you post again then someone else (or the same person) posts again and it goes on just like a conversation until the problem is solved. Try to keep it to just that - all the other side chatter detracts from your thread.

                Where is the message "no files selected" displayed?
                At the bottom of the screen?
                Does it happen in My Pictures folder only?

                  the "no files selected" message appears in the center of the screen. yes, it is only in the My Pictures folder file.
