Vista - Can't see all my files and folders in Documents

I upgraded my HP laptop to Windows Vista and recently, for some reason, I
could not see the files in "Documents", for example my music and pictures
anymore. I know my Itunes are in there for example, but I can't seem to view
the files. They are still on the machine because I can still play the music
files, but for some strange reason, I can not view them anymore. And also,
not sure if this is related, all of a sudden my Norton 360 is asking me to
activate. Please help.

Look for a folder called Windows.OLD
Its where windows packs things up when it upgrades from vista.
It should be in the system folder if I am not mistaken.

Actually, I couldn't find my files after I had created all the new files in
the "Documents" folder in Vista. I had already transfered over all my files
from the Windows.old folder. I had been using Vista for a few weeks and had
a lot of files, that are still there, I just can't "explore" them for some
reason. For example, I can still play my iTunes music. Thanks.

be displayed, right click to open
