Can't really help you there. Is it your data folder, or is it the Data Files section in skyrim's launcher? Because if it is the data folder in skyrims root directory (Where the executable is located) then that means that the folder is set to Hidden. Clarify the issue if you can.

You need to check your Skyrim.ini located in C:/users/username/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim , and there you a file with the name " skyrimPrefs " is a text document.

- Open that file and check if you have this line

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection = 1

- If you have and the valor is ....=0 , change to 1 and save

- If you don't have this line just add :

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection = 1

and save.

- note -

makes a copy ( to your desktop ) of the file before any changes.

confused ?

here is a copy of my skyrim.ini , just create a text document and paste everything, and now open your skyrimPrefs and replace with this one, save and try if your Data is fuctional.
