    Turning on and turning off Simple File Sharing
    Simple File Sharing is always turned on in Windows XP Home Edition-based computers. By default, the Simple File Sharing UI is turned on in Windows XP Professional-based computers that are joined to a workgroup. Windows XP Professional-based computers that are joined to a domain use only the classic file sharing and security interface. When you use the Simple File Sharing UI (that is located in the folder's properties), both share and file permissions are configured.

    If you turn off Simple File Sharing, you have more control over the permissions to individual users. However, you must have advanced knowledge of NTFS and share permissions to help keep your folders and files more secure. If you turn off Simple File Sharing, the Shared Documents feature is not turned off.

    To turn Simple File Sharing on or off in Windows XP Professional, follow these steps:
    1. Double-click My Computer on the desktop.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab, and then select the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) check box to turn on Simple File Sharing. (Clear this check box to turn off this feature.)

    i think they are hidden from a security thing, one of your security programs might be hidding them.

    and you 100% sure you dont have a virus?

    and are you saving correctly?

    noticed you said images so here it is


    got too lazy and didnt make a screen shot, but go to the file you pictuers are(example: My documents) right click>properties>general(tab)

    i have read-only checked and hidden unchecked
    ^^but you can mess around with the settings
