My computer crashed and when I restarted it all my files were gone. So I'm not doumb, I did a system restore to earlier that morning and most of my stuff was there. There were a few files missing off the desktop, the same with all my Hard Drives. I can still see all these files with "Search Everything" an when I go to folders that are empty, I can check the size and it tells me there are serveral files in there. Also, I checked and realised that all my files and folders are now read only. This was OK for a few days, until I tried to play some more modern games than MM2. But I kept getting errors of programs "Not being able to create files". This is most annoying with Firefox, as everytime I restart (which is rarley) I have to delete it and uninstall it to get past the "Firefox is already running..." message. I've tried going into to folders and un-checking the read only box and clicking apply, but with or without leaving the folder, I can go straight back into the propities and the box is selected again. So is there a command or program I can use to make all my files un-hidden and read only? Also, why those files that disapperaed have done just that. And why can I see all these files myself? Thanks,
