Folder not showing up when browsing windows

It may be a SYSTEM folder. I've come across this before - see http://www.filecats.co.uk/what-is-filecats/a-diagnostic-tool/ for more information.

It shouldn't be a system folder.  Its a share that people access every day without any issues, but when I log into the server, I can see the folder.

I would suggest cataloging it, either using MS-DOS or some other file cataloger, and have a look at its attributes.

Do you know the DOS commands? I',m not find anything obvious when googling.

Have a look at

Dir *.*

for example, to see system files/folders

dir *.* /AS

You might find the folder cataloger easier.

Where can I find the folder cataloger?

Try either Filecats Standard (if you have and like Microsft Excel), or Filecats Explore (if you don't). The download page is here: http://www.filecats.co.uk/download-free-trial/

Both of them will capture the attributes, as you can see in the video on this page: http://www.filecats.co.uk/what-is-filecats/a-diagnostic-tool/

Thinking about it, maybe the share is hidden.

If the last character is a $ sign, then it will be hidden, so you can only access it if you know the path.

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd767761.aspx for more details.

If that's the case, and you don't want it hidden, then share it without the $ sign at the end.

Not a hidden share.  I can browse to it by going to the share \\server\clients or browse to it directly from the server by going to D:\Clients

And does cataloging it show anything?

I've just cataloged a folder now for a search I am doing, and I can see a hidden file and a hidden and system file...

I did that dir command and it didn't show it as a system folder.  I'm running that filecatexplore right now and it gave me a spreadsheet of items, but not sure what it all means.

Have a look at the attributes. It gives you the same as in MS-DOS

D = Directory
R = Read-only
H = Hidden
A = Files ready for archiving
S = System files

For the folder in question, the attributes are RHSD

Read-only; Hidden; System and Directory.

The thing that struck me about your question was "I selected view hidden files and folders and that did not solve the issue."

That's because Hidden and System are different. It struck a chord with me, because I came across and had to solve this problem before.

In Windows Explorer:

If you have Windows 8, you have to go to Options...
If you have Windows Vista, you have to go to Tools - Options...
If you have Windows 7 - you have to see the Tools menu first. Open Windows Explore, and press the Alt key once. Then Tools - Options.

(Take a breath.)

Then, in View tab, deselect (i.e. clear the checkbox for) "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended).

You will get a warning - just ignore it.

Hopefully then you can see the folder in Windows Explorer. If not, I'm out of ideas!

However, please notice that, even though you can't see the folder in Windows Explorer, as Filecats Explore can see it, with enough tweaks, you should eventually be able to see it in Windows Explorer.

Can I change the attributes of the folder so its not a system folder?
