Vista - Folder has disappeared

This was addressed in an earlier post, called "Missing Folder"
(http://www.microsoft.com/communities...=en-us&m=1&p=1), but the poster's problem seemed to have resolved itself.

I'm having a similar issue, and really need this folder.

I was trying to copy it from my My Documents folder to a USB drive. I
realised, right as it was beginning to copy, that I was forgetting to include
some other things, so cancelled the copy. (I was copying, not
cutting/pasting.) Vista started to cancel, giving a new progress bar that
takes forever, like it does, so I hit cancel on that.

Now, the folder's gone, gone, gone. On neither the USB nor in the My Docs
folder.

If I do a search for that folder's name, it comes up in its old location -
but I've seen somewhere that that is probably because it's in the search
index - but if you click on it, Windows tells you that it may have been
moved, or on a disconnected network (not the case).

How can I find it? Where did it go? Especially if I was drag-and-drop
copying it, not cutting and pasting it.

It's annoying the hell out of me, and there are some really important files
in there. Appreciate some assistance.
