Lost my WMLDocs folder

In my Sesame1.1.4 version I seem to have lost my WMLDocs folder. Everything is operable in my applications however I cannot find the folder containing the word documents, HTML documents, and the word_html documents. It must exist because everything works. However I cannot change anything since I cannot locate that WMlDocs folder. I tried restoring it with a "cloud type" server and it successfully restored all the files within but now they are doubled and I still cannot access that folder in:
C:\Sesame\WMLDocs

Thanks,
Peter

It seems like your folder could have been marked inadvertently hidden. See if following helps to unhide file and folders.

Are you using Windows7 or Windows XP? Following might help to see where those files are..

Thanks Bhrat!!
By viewing folders that are hidden and then unchecking it did the trick.

Sometimes Windows won't let you change the attributes of a folder via the graphical interface.  But often you can still do it via the command line.

From the command line: Attrib DirectoryName +H will make the "DirectoryName" directory hidden, and
Attrib DirectoryName -H will make it visible again

Example:  if you wish to make the "DOCS" subdirectory (folder) hidden in the directory tree 'c:\data\DOCS':
Open a command window, then type
c: [return]
cd\ [return]
cd c:\data [return]
now at the command prompt "c:\data>"
Attrib DOCS +h [return]
.... the directory is now hidden.

to make that directory visible again:
Open a command window, then type:
c: [return]
cd\ [return]
cd c:\data [return]
now at the command prompt "c:\data>"
Attrib DOCS -H [return]
... the directory is now visible again.


PS - the directory while hidden is still functional, as you discovered.
