Whilst searching for a document that did not show up, I foolishly ticked
the "hidden" box in the "properties box thinking it might show hidden
files. Instead it hid documents and settings which has lost me "My
documents", program list etc. How can I reverse as i obviously cannot
now see the properties box. I feel a bit daft.

Thanks for any advice, Kevin
 
Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files"
