Hey, guys. I recently moved a lot of files to a folder with a blank name (Alt-255) and icon in My Documents. On top of that, I set the folder to hidden as well, so you'd have to be looking for it to find it. However, now it seems to stay hidden completely, even if I turn on hidden files and folders to be visible. And I know it's not just deleted, because if I try to move a new folder with the Alt-255 name into My Documents, it says there's already a folder with that name in there. But it's totally invisible even on Thumbnail view... It's just inaccessible period. How can I get back to it?
