Whilst trying to reveal the \Appdata folder in WINDOWS Explorer, I ACCIDENTALLY hid my dads entire user folder named TONY (C:\USERS\Tony).

I now can't seem to view the contents of said 'Tony' folder(s) within C:\Users but it still logs in under the user and windows can used as normal. However, All I seem to be able to view is C:\Users\Public in MS-DOS or Win Explorer.

After referring to different posts I tried the DOS 'attrib' command below in the CMD DOS prompt - but it didn't work.

attrib -h C:\Users\Tony /s
File not found - C:\Users\Tony

Help!! Its my dads user folder and I need to recify it quick. 

Any IDEAS??? Thanks  have you tried

c:

cd Users

attrib -h Tony

Thx for the reply Salmon.

Didnt work tho. It responded to the command, but nothing was corrected.

Help?

By the way? Would system restore help???Do you and your dad have separate logins? When you do this attrib stuff, who are you logged in as? Try this - login as Administrator. Run a command prompt with admin privs. cd to the users directory. Type in attrib -h -s Tony.
