Answer 1

Your folder has gone nowhere. It's just invisible. Just open control panel and select FOLDER OPTIONS. up in the tabs, select VIEW. Scroll down and under the HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS menu, click on SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS. Then APPLY. Go to your folder (It'll show transparent), right click, and select PROPERTIES. Now un-check HIDDEN. To finish it off, go back to the FOLDER OPTIONS, and if wanted, select SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS.

Answer 2

you gotta go up to the menu at the top of the screen. where you see File, Edit, View, etc. One of those should have "Options" or "Folder Options" in it.

go to the advanced tab and there should be a check box next to an option that says "View hidden files and folders"

check it and click ok. you'll now see anything that's hidden
