Spring folders missing

Post by Alchemist »

There's a few folders missing from my Spring directory, I can't seem to find where they are located. My Screenshots folders is missing, and the rts and a bunch of those. Anyone know how to get folders back? Help would be appreciated, thanks.

if you're in vista, it places those in a weird virtual file system folder inside you user home folder, do a an advanced search that includes invisible elements and you'll find it

They are physically located on a separate part of the hard drive. Its not that they are hidden in that folder, they just aren't there. There should be a message somewhere on one of the info bars saying something about missing files, with a link to view the actual files.

I wish I could tell you how I got it to put them in the Spring folder, but I'm not sure because I just noticed thats where they are now :shock: ... maybe it was turning off UAC, or maybe it was updating to SP1...
