| | Folder disappeared when saving a file in Windows Vista I'm running Windows Vista. I'm trying to save a file in my c:\user\documents\ folder. The file is an Excel (2000) .xls file. Under the mentioned c:\user\documents\ I have the standard Vista folders and some othes of my own creation. If I select the folder via "desktop", then the last ones (the new folders created by myself) aren't visible under de "save file" dialog , nevertheless they are visible from the explorer. In fact some other folders such as the "Roaming" folder which is Vista's created aren't neither there... On the other hand, if I select the folder by selecting the C: drive and navigating through the folders i can see them perfectly. Does anyone have an idea of how configure it to allow direct acces from de desktop icon to the whole content of my documents file, including my own folders, when I save a file? |

| | RE: Folder disappeared when saving a file in Windows Vista Can you open a command prompt and type: attrib c:\user\documents\<folder you created> and send the output? Also, if you click in the addressbar from the Save dialog, does the path show up as the same path? "Angie" wrote: Quote: > I'm running Windows Vista.

| | RE: Folder disappeared when saving a file in Windows Vista Justin: Thanks for your interest. I did what you suggested with the following results (I'ts a spanish vista) No se encuentra la ruta de acceso: C\Usuarios\Myname\<folder> Recall: the problem is when I acces via the folder Myname in the desktop. Regards. Neither for this other path: c:\Usuarios\documents\ "Justin Martin [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > Can you open a command prompt and type: > > attrib c:\user\documents\<folder you created> > > and send the output? > > Also, if you click in the addressbar from the Save dialog, does the path > show up as the same path? > > "Angie" wrote: > Quote: > > I'm running Windows Vista.
