Windows XP Update >> Where has my Windows folder gone? My system is Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A. I have just run the latest Microsoft Windows updates and I can't seem to find my Windows folder any more, even though the computer is working fine. Are these matters related by any chance? Are my Windows files now stored in a different location?

Windows XP Update >> Where has my Windows folder gone? You will probably find that it's been hidden away from your view. Try going into advanced folder properties and un checking the hide operating system files. However not got a 9x box nearby so cant give you the exact wording

4.10.2222 is Windows 98SE.
Open your Windows Explorer, and:
- Click VIEW in the toolbar.
- Click FOLDER OPTIONS... in the dropdown menu.
- Click the VIEW tab.
- Look in the ADVANCED SETTINGS box, under FILES AND FOLDERS/HIDDEN FILES and
ensure the SHOW ALL FILES option is selected.

Windows XP Update >> Where has my Windows folder gone? I am running winxp pro on my acer travelmate t370. After
the most recent windows update 2 days ago, my briefcase
folder disappeared without a trace. The other folders are
intact. Have yet to find an explanation. Luckily I have a
backup but don't intend to use briefcase folders again. It
doesn't seem well supported.

Hope you had a backup. It may be hard to recover the folder
:-(
