I locked a folder and now I cannot see the files in the folder after unlocking it. If I try to restore it doesnt show me the exact dates (Editor: unclear what is meant here).

I even did system restore but I can only see links, like shortcuts. I don't know whether the folder is shared or not but I can see the name of the locked folder in Computer Management under secured files.

Please help me retrieve my lost files!

How did you lock the folder? Did you use a special application to do it (if so, which one)?
