Unable To Unhide Hidden Folders

freebird_9924 · Jan 4, 2012

Folder is hidden & hidden check mark is disabled in my USB pendrive.

I scanned with antivirus and now no virus in pendrive though all my files are hidden and they have shortcuts of folder visible, if i nned to enter in folder, i need to enter fila path manually.

any solution?

i'm interested in this as well. my checkbox isn't disabled but i can't see my appata folder even with it selected. i can see all of the other hidden files/folders except that, but if i type it in the address bar it opens the folder fine.

sorry no answer though

Are you sure they aren't marked as system files?

They were marked as system files by virus so i wasnt able to see.. i enabled to view system files in options then i can see folder but yet cant unhide.

i googled and found solution.

I tried attrib -s -h folder name & it worked for that folder. Then I tried attrib -s -h /s /d which did all the folders, sub-folders in a single go.

Usually kido virus does it. First system restore should be disabled and all restore points have to be deleted (kido just loves them). And second there's a good little application that can bring back file/folder attributes. It's called Attributes Editor.
