User folder hidden

Hi all,

Just recently I have found that my Music folder is no longer being indexed,
and as part of my investigation I have found that my User folder
"C:\Users\amahon" is now hidden (where the rest of the user folders show up
just fine). I wonder if this is messing around with the indexing service,
and would like to know how I can make my User folder visible again.

I'm running Vista Business joined to a Domain (my user account is also a
Domain admin).

Hope someone can help.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious or not answering your question, but go
to c:\users\, right click your user folder, uncheck hidden, click ok.

Hi there, i'm having the same issue on my domain. I'm running Windows
Vista Ultimate x64 on a Windows Server 2003 DC environment. The users
folder on my vista machine is hidden, if i go into the folder manually
and try to untick hidden its greyed out. Not sure if some form of group
policy has been applied? Also my domain account is hidden and i'm the
domain admin. But normal domain user accounts are showing in the folder.
Please help? Thanks
