You should be able to see those files given what you described. Have you scanned your system for malware? Sounds like something odd is going on in that department. At least run Spybot and consider using a commercial tool such as <a href=”http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Home-Office/Anti-Spyware/Download/”>CounterSpy</a>.

Scanning the entire network for spyware
It is still possible to scan the entire network for suspicious malicious software infection. However, before you can do this, you really have to have an updated and latest antivirus and antispyware software installed in your computer system. You also have to make sure that it is not a free antivirus software.

How to implement a secondry DR site with HSRP
The CCNP SWITCH study materials are a great resource for HSRP / VRRP / GLBP type configurations HSRP is nice, but if you have the chance, go GLBP, as it actively forwards / load-balances data across the redundant links rather than waiting for the primary to fail.
