My user account and files are all hidden

I went to the workstation.

Then I went to the C: OS drive and clicked on users

A click with the right button on my user name - > properties-> Hidden-> apply.

Now all my files, etc are just gone. I tried a system restore, but it will not restore as it says Firefox is open and can not close.

I'm not having any luck no hidden. I need not all the instructions on how to HIDE, but precise instructions on how to DISPLAY it.

Why hide you your own files? Seems suicidal.

In Windows Explorer, you can specify that it must show hidden files. When they are visible, then you can remove the attribute "hidden". Otherwise, you can do this:

1. click on the globe to start, and then type cmd.exe in the search box and press ENTER.
2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
attrib /s /d h '%UserProfile% '.

    Good people you've heard of this one before:

    Service user profile Service failed to connect
    User profile cannot be loaded.

    I tried all of the recommended patches (see list below)

    1 ran all appropriate steps as stated in the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215 - no joy
    There is not other profiles listed in the register except the administrator account on the basis and since I couldn't connect successfully to a user apparently newly created accounts, the profile has not completed the process of generation.

  • I want to give my old computer to my family, how can I delete my user account and files?

    I have windows XP & buy a new laptop with windows 7. How can I remove myself from the old laptop so that they don't get my email & files?  I give my computer to the family member.

    You could do a clean install, so there's nothing left from when you use, or you can create another user (admin) then go on this user and delete your user, so that all your files would be gone.

  • Corruption, massive in almost all of the network services user account and firewall Windows

    Win 7 Pro SP 1. An account with administrator privileges. Domestic wireless access to a router; D-link devices. System was working fine until about seven 2 (and I pointed out some Windows updates installed September 1, but don't think it's relevant). Computer users allege no unusual behavior on their part Analyses of viruses from Windows Defender and Avast free were clear. Restoring from a previous restore point (two different ones) has not solved the problem - the restore points were date known system OK. Corruption has been maintained despite the restorations (worked and failed).

    A complaint that has lost network access. On the survey, found that all these symptoms mentioned below, and no doubt other symptoms exist that I am not aware of. The solution was to create a new user account, and which restored massive configuration problems.

    Symptoms:

    1 Windows Firewall could not turn on. Yes, I looked at the KBs regarding this issue (basic dependencies does not and so on) and tried individual hotfixes from the KB, without success.

    2. in the network sharing Center, there was no display of the usual icons at the top of this window. Those who show the personal computer connected to the router connected to the internet. Error message displayed re no dependence of base.

    3. it is possible to send signals between the USB wireless device on the computer and the wireless router. In the task area, the Windows message was 'limited connectivity', something like that. It was possible to connect and disconnect using this facility. But no internet access, notes.

    4. the resolution of the problems would not be executed. The message was that political diagnostics are not running. All attempts to start this service (with its two assistance services) has failed. Tried the individual patches of the relevant KB (wearing mostly on change permissions in the registry at some points), which failed.

    5. in addition, the Dhcp client service would not be executed. Once again, among the KBs tried the proposed fix on the permissions change, which failed. (Omitted in the sense that I could not always start the service; editing the registry was fine).

    5. firewall KB contained a file "beats" that you can create and run, I did, and another had similar commands (start and stop some services) that could be run in a command window. Both failed on some services - especially Mspsvc (Microsoft protection Service) - Although the success was shown to other services.

    6. when I created a new user profile, I re-entered the registry permissions in some of these places just to see what was different. In the damaged user profile, what was missing, it was the standard system of services (about 3 or 4 of them; things like the name of Dhcp). What showed was the News user account (for the specific user account; administrator; and two more points).

    Telling me that something has released a complete subsystem or three. Never seen this behaviour before.

    Would be nice to have an idea where to look for a fix / restore procedure.

    Hello

    Thank you for providing us with brief information on the specific issue that you are facing the computer.

    I would like to know, have you been able to access the network on the new user profile?

    As you have tried several steps including the change of permission for the registry value and run the batch file, I would ask to perform Scan SFC.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    For more information on how to scan SFC, please see the Microsoft Support Article below.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Let us know the results of the SFC Scan, so that we can help you further.

  • Management of user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8

    Hello

    I'll post a thread on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

    A user account allows you to connect to Windows 8. By default, your computer already has a user account that you have been
    needed to create when you configure Windows 8. If you want to share your computer, you can create a separate for each Member of your household or office user account. You can also choose to associate any user account with a Microsoft account. Signature with a Microsoft account will bring all your SkyDrive files, contacts and more in the start screen. You can even connect to another computer that has Windows 8 and all your important files will be there.

    Here is a video on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

    Also, here is a document showing you how to manager Our user on Windows 8.

    If you have any questions let me know.

    My documents and pictures, and favorites are all gone!

    Hi Valerie,

    If the problem occurs is no longer, it is very difficult to say what happened in the first place.

    Usually this problem is caused by:

    1. a virus
    2. permissions on files
    3. file system corruption

    You can perform a scan for virus - just in case.

    It is also possible that the permissions of files were out of sorts and slipped somewhere along the way.

    Best regards
