			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vestiges of a virus left a computer with most of the files in the My Documents folder invisible, so the malware creator could make it appear that files were damaged (and magically &#8220;repaired&#8221; once you paid for the software to fix things).</p>
<p>I removed the virus but the files stayed set hidden. Online advice about fixing this didn&#8217;t work, but I stumbled upon the correct solution myself. Here&#8217;s how to fix this issue if it happens to you. This should work in most versions of Windows, from Windows XP to Windows 7.</p>
<p>Find the folder containing the files you want to repair in Windows Explorer.</p>
<p>Right-click on the folder and choose Properties.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Hidden&#8221; box will (probably) be clear, indicating all files are &#8220;unhidden&#8221; &#8212; which isn&#8217;t correct.</p>
<p>Check the box so that it has a check mark in it (not a square). Click Apply and select &#8220;Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files.&#8221; Click OK.</p>
<p>It will take several minutes for all files in that folder to be updated. They will now all be hidden. Don&#8217;t panic.</p>
<p>When it&#8217;s done, UNCHECK the &#8220;Hidden&#8221; box so that it&#8217;s clear, and click Apply again. Select the &#8220;Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files&#8221; option again and click OK.</p>
<p>Now, all files will &#8212; finally &#8212; no longer be hidden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no occupation I dislike more than the debt collector. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/25/business/debt-collector-is-faulted-for-tough-tactics-in-hospitals.html?_r=4&amp;hp&amp;pagewanted=all">Here&#8217;s another reason</a> to hate them.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hospital patients waiting in an emergency room or convalescing after surgery are being confronted by an unexpected visitor: a debt collector at bedside.</p>
<p>This and other aggressive tactics by one of the nation’s largest collectors of medical debts, <a title="Web site." href="http://www.accretivehealth.com/">Accretive Health</a>, were revealed on Tuesday by the Minnesota attorney general, raising concerns that such practices have become common at hospitals across the country.</p>
<p>The tactics, like embedding debt collectors as employees in emergency rooms and demanding that patients pay before receiving treatment, were outlined in hundreds of company documents released by the attorney general. And they cast a spotlight on the increasingly desperate strategies among hospitals to recoup payments as their unpaid debts mount.</p></blockquote>
