Documents folder marked as hidden

The documents folder has all of a sudden become a hidden folder and the
option to hide/unhide is greyed out. Consequently I can see the folder in the
Desktop/Username(Mark) folder but it is not visible in C:\Users\Username
(Mark). This is driving me nuts as not all "save" options take you directly
to the Desktop\Username folders where the Documents folder is visible. The
folder is at it's default location (I did move it to my secondary hard drive
but it never worked very well so I moved it back to it's default loaction
C:\Users\Username) I enjoy Vista but have had endless problems with these
things and it seems Microsoft just want you to leave everything at the
default setting...which is extremely annoying!
Thanks, Mark

Open an Admin command prompt. Type cd\users\username\documents. Press Enter.
Type attrib -h. Press Enter.
