hi,

i have a folder in windows ntfs partition with over 1000 files... suddenly i find that only files from A-I are visible, all the others don't show up in explorer anymore, yet can be opened by filename...

any ideas how to make them visible again?

Note that moving A-I out the folder doesn't help...

Cheers

p.s. dont u just love MS!

cld it be that they are set to hidden and you diddnt enable "show hidden files and folders" in folder options?

if not ..i dont know..

nope not that... i think windows goes mad if you have too many files in one folder...

windows dos go's mad if you put 2 many files in a folder, but 1000 is not a problem.
try if you see them with dos.

it is posible that somebody set up a root kit in that folder, and that makes all the files invisible...try antivirus-scaning

p.s:sorry, my english is full of bugs

heh no i'm certain im not rooted, i have been doing that kind of dev myself lately...

just a thought but maybe you could try with dos as mentioned above or even

right click my computer > properties > advanced > performance> settings > adjust for best performance.

okay that

try again?
