Hello,
I've been looking at my folders on C: drive and noticed that some are shadowed over, which, like grey, usually means not accessible. I can open them and shadowed folders within them, but wondering what's up and should I be concerned

If you mean the directories are a slightly different color then they are hidden or system folders and you have 'show hidden and/or system folders' enabled in your file explorer view settings

Ohh. I found that setting. Not sure how or when it got changed, but I have had my IT folks accessing my computer, so maybe they wanted to see them. Thanks.

There's nothing like stating the full fact's when you post an issue.
