Answer» Hi, there
I have a folder in my desktop, i wright click on it i accessed it's property, then i HIDED the folder by using it's
attrib [hidden]. Now i desperately want to retrieve the folder. I've done an early restore the folder shown up, but not a single file can be read. i went DOS, i couldn't manage to use the attrib. Please anybody there to help!!!
I'll be very grearful hello
change attributes to folder:
Code: [Select]attrib -h -r "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\FolderName"
you can,t see the files?
you may set them as system files
Code: [Select]attrib -h -r -s "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\FolderName\*.*"
You may need to "undo" the last system restore. I have seen System Restore do STRANGE things to files on the Desktop that have CHANGED SINCE restoring to an EARLIER time.
Then turn on the ability to view hidden files:
1) My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab -> "Show hidden files and folders"
- OR -
2) Or one of the previously posted suggestions to un-hide through the command prompt.
