in the addres bar for ex: type &#92;&#92;pc name&#92;file path&#92; filename.ext. this will work \n\nif this does not work then you have not yet given proper permissions in the security tab next to folder sharing tab in the properties of the folder. \n\nplease check and correct it

Try going up to folder options and select show hidden files. Then you should be able to see all the files on your computer even hidden thumbs.

One way to protect data is to keep it hidden.  Right-click on the folder and go to properties.  Click on hidden and OK.  The folder will disappear.  To get it back, remember where you left it, go to the window toolbar, tools, then folder options.  Go to view, and click show hidden files and folders.\n\nAnother way to protect, save it on a disk/external hard drive.

Right click on the folder, then left click "Properties". Left Click the box beside "Hide" then left click "okay" button.\n\nAlways remember where do you this, otherwise, when you go to look for it, you won't find it again\n\nCheers\nMalcolm

When a folder or file is put onto your computer, it has the value of either being hidden, read-only, or viewable. The folders you are talking about are probably just hidden folders. To be able to see these, simply click the Tools drop down menu when you have a n explorer window open. Then click Folder Options. Once your window is up, click on the View tab. In the open space below, there are multiple check boxes and choice circles. If you look closely, it has the choice of showing hidden files and folders, or showing them. You can click the choice that shows them. I hope this helps.

Clicking on your history button is one way of checking but if you are really computor savy,( or not ) go into tools, internet options,settings,view files or view folders. But be careful what you open.

If you right click on the folder and then go to properties, a dialogue box should pop up. Then click on "hide". You can still access the folder, but it's hidden.

well...if you are using a PC, the easisest and fastest way if to enable the viewing of hidden files & folders.  Double click my computer, then go to tools >>> Folder Options. then go to the view tab and choose to show hidden files & folders. \n\nOnce that's done, go to my computer, then go to your ipod, then go to device, music, then you will see a bunch of folders there and all you MP3's will be in there.

Go to start, my computer (if you don't have the desktop icon), C drive, program files, windows media center then under that there will be folders with different items in it, if it's not there, then if it's not there, you would go back to C drive and look under the windows folder.  Sometimes they are stored in both places so you might need to look at both.
