Hi chenque,

It's possible the file was changed to having a hidden attribute.

Click on Tools and Folder Options in My Documents.

Select the View tab.

Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

Click on tools, folder options, go to view tab and select the radio button to show hidden files and folders. Click apply to all folders and then you will be able to see the folder again as slightly shaded. Right click on the folder, go to properties and uncheck the hidden box. It should now be plainly visible. You can tehn reverve the view options if you like to avoid deleting something inportatn by mistake.
