    Me 'Downloads' folder has disappeared.

    Bit odd. Must have happened today.

    Noticed the Downloads folder was gone from the 'Libraries' folder.

    Went looking for it, no sign.


    Opened Utorrents to click on a download, takes me straight to the 'Documents' folder, no 'Downloads' folder in there, or any of the files that were in it.

    Check the Recycle bin. No sign.

    Use the search function to search for one of the files downloaded. It comes up under the 'files', try to open it, comes up with the box saying it's been changed or moved.


    Check the C drive, and the amount of Gb used is still the same. As there's around 100 Gb in it, it would be noticed if it was gone. Haven't used Ccleaner in a few days, so shouldn't be completely gone.



    Not a biggie, but haven't transferred to the D Drive or an Ext. Hdd in a few weeks, so probably 100 Gb of stuff I'd rather not have to recollect, then download again.

    Any inside tips or tricks on how to find it?

    Win 7 Ultimatit.

    Cheers.

    One torrent is still currently downloading.

    Which is a bit odd.

    Ask Harrybarracuda - he will fuck all the computer up so you will not notice one missing folder.

    I'm guessing it killed itself for knowingly housing the content you've been downloading......

    Where was it hiding?

    Did you move it to the new "Four Little Doggies" folder?

    Ask Harry, he will ask you to reboot your computer, then if that fails, re-install all your device drivers, and if that fails too, simply do a complete re-install of Windows 7
