Install antivirus software. it also happened to me before when i got infected by a virus. it hides all of my files. i just install the antivirus then clean my hard drive. the difficult part is showing my files. just follow these steps:
1. click start>>run>>type in "cmd"
2. type the location of your files. e.g. "d:", "e:", "f:", etc..
3. type "dir /ah"
*you will now see the files/folders with hidden attributes
4. type "attrib [name of file/folder] -r -a -s -h"
*if you're going to unhide files, you should type the whole name plus the extension (format).. example "attrib party.jpg -r -a -s -h"
**if you have folders with 6 characters and above, type the first 6 characters then "~1".. example for folder named "birthday"
"attrib birthd~1 -r -a -s -h"
5. you should repeatedly type dir /ah after unhiding some files/folders so you'll know if they're now working or not..
6. now check you flash drive.. it should be there..

I Tried To Log Out but It would;nt Let Me And I Have My Personal

You could put them in a folder and make the files "invisible" by hiding them in explorer. Right click the file and choose the check box "Make Hidden File"

Go to control panel-folder options-view-and choose the box "Do not show hidden files " and the file will not be visible unless someone goes into the control panel and changes the "show hidden files option"

Hope that helps pls vote for me
