Post by: jacobixxx8 on August 23, 2016, 09:13:46 AM

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?
