pca_franky - 5 September 2008 - 8:38pmHi Dave
thanks for the promt reply and I did try your solution but I still see an empty folder! Is it possible for Norton or Spybot to hide the files?
Solved!
pca_franky - 8 September 2008 - 3:58pmHi Dave and anyone else interested
somehow the Documents shortcut in Vista had lost it's link. What Treesize saw was the actual folder in C:\Users| etc........... What I haven't found out is why!!!!!
