Question : Folders visible but no Files

Yesterday I changed a user's My Documents target location from a server back to the default location on his hard drive.  I replied 'yes' when prompted if I wanted to move the files from the old location to the new.  It took about 12 minutes to get the copying done and then we shut off his PC for the day.  Today all the files directly inside My Documents are there, plus all subfolders in My Documents but no files in any of the sub folders are visible.  When I look at the properties of My Documents it shows 866 MB and 1888 files which I think is everything he had.  It is as though the files are there but just not showing up.  I checked the folder they were moved from on the server and it is empty.  I'm hoping the data was copied and is just not showing up but I'm unsure where to look next.

Answer : Folders visible but no Files

Might be a file system corruption issue. Run chkdsk. Also try and run recovery software on the My Documents folder.
