You're a genius. I'm in awe! Using the link you gave me, I was able to see all the data files. The application program lost the links to these files but by double-clinking on these files I was able to load them into the application program such as PowerPoint or Word. Thanks a heap.
I also found a folder called Favorite which contains all my favorites but have disappeared from the screen under Favorites. Is there a quick way of restoring these favorites links.
Also, several people suggested I should install two programs: Hot Virtual Keyboard and Malwarebytes to protect my machine. What are your expert opinions on these programs?

Hello,
Windows Vista/Windows 7 might tell you that you are not being allowed to operate at the administration level of your computer.
You can solve this problem as follows:
Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu,
instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Then, choose Run as administrator/take ownership from the context menu.
You will find a screenshot of this problem in our FAQ.
Best regards

For your favorites,please try this:
Click your start button,and type cmd.Rightclick cmd,and select Run as Administrator.
Type,or copy and paste this line into the window:
cd %USERPROFILE%\Favorites
Then press enter.
Next,type attrib,and then press enter.
If your favorites are located in the right spot,you should see your bookmarks listed there,followed by .url It'll look something like this:
A C:\Users\gnowgnow\Favorites\Drivers & Downloads.url
Do your favorites all have sh listed in front of them,like this?
A SH C:\Users\gnowgnow\Favorites\Drivers & Downloads.url
I'm not familiar with Hot Virtual Keyboard but it looks pretty good.MalwareBytes is definately a good program to install,in my opinion.

How do I move the files to Drivers & Downloads?
No need to move the files to Driver's & Downloads,the above was just an example of what the .url listed in cmd might look like.
Please click your start button,and type cmd.Rightclick cmd,and select Run as Administrator.
Type,or copy and paste this line into the window:
cd %USERPROFILE%\Favorites
Then press enter.
Next,please type in:
attrib -h
Then press enter.
You'll probably get a message in the cmd window that says: "Not resetting system file - C:\Users\gnowgnow\Favorites\desktop.ini"
No need to worry about that message.
Hopefully,that should remove the hidden attribute from your favorites.
Type exit in the cmd window,then open up Internet Explorer.Are your favorites visible now?

Could the file Transaction1134H016K be hidden? Anyway to check that, Guru?
Good,I'm glad to hear that.You're welcome.
No,I don't believe Transaction1134H016K being hidden would be the problem,since if it is,your program should still be able to open it.
If you've reversed showing hidden files,please go here to temporarily unhide them once again:
