I cant see my files wich is not hidden [Solved/Closed]

1. click start>>run>>type in "cmd"
2. type the location of your flash drive.. e.g. "d:", "e:", "f:", etc..
3. type "dir /ah"
*you will now see the files/folders with hidden attributes
4. type "attrib [name of file/folder] -r -a -s -h"
*if you're going to unhide files, you should type the whole name plus the extension (format).. example "attrib party.jpg -r -a -s -h"
**if you have folders with 6 characters and above, type the first 6 characters then "~1".. example for folder named "birthday"
"attrib birthd~1 -r -a -s -h"
5. you should repeatedly type dir /ah after unhiding some files/folders so you'll know if they're now working or not..
6. now check you flash drive.. it should be there..

if you dont like doing system tweaks so much. here's a not so technical solution: go to FOLDER OPTIONS. On the view tab CHECK "show hidden files and folders". UNCHECK "Hide protected operating system files". You will see your missing folders/files which were hidden by the virus. navigate through your these folders and just copy the files in them to a new location.

1. Click on the Start button and select Run.

2. Type in regedit in the box and click OK to start up the Editor.
3. Once regedit appears, navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
4. Right-click on Hidden and select Modify.
5. Change the value to 1 and click OK to save your changes.

Open command prompt
Go to USB drive location
Type dir /ah
All the files which are hidden in the flash drive will gt listed
Type attrib <file name> -r -a -s -h
If your file name contains space like(r s agarwal) then give the file name within double quotes
Thats it. Now you able to see the hidden file in your flash drive.

hi buddy,

i have tried the options displayed above but i can't able to execute those steps. here is the best option that i have done and it's working to my notebook "laptop" and now, i have accessed the files in which i can't view before.

just follow the few steps:

1.] Check whether your "task bar and start menu properties" is running on "classic start menu" or "start menu" only.
-to do this, point your mouse arrow to the task bar and right click, then select the "properties" to display the "task bar and start menu properties" then select the "start menu" tab. there you can see the current start menu being activated.

2.] If "Start Menu" is activated; do this: go to "start menu" Open "My Computer" to access it.
or if "Classic Start Menu" is being activated; do this: double click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop to open it.

3.] Right click the drive letter (e.g. C: , D: , E: , etc.), then select "Properties".

4.] Select the "Tools" tab and click the "Check Now" button.

5.] Check the boxes of "Automatically fix file system errors" and " Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".

6.] Click "Start" button.

7.] If in case the "Disk Checking" will ask you to schedule it on the next restart of your computer, then do it.

8.] Restart the computer.

9.] While the computer is restarting and running the "Disk Checking", you will notice this message displayed on the screen "Recovering Orphan Files _______________ (name of the files you have saved in which you can't access or view".

10.] Finish the "Disk Checking" to fully recovered and fix the line errors of your hard disk.

11.] Finally, the files in which you can't access or view before are fully recovered.

Note: Do the steps above if you are "newbie user" or "advanced user"
It works great for my notebook.
Now, if it's not working in your computer, then something is really happening on your unit.
Do post any comments, so i will be updated.

There are reports that a more or less failed installation of the Daemon-Tools V4 makes XP fail assigning drive letters to new drives.
It's suggested then to uninstall the tools and to delete some files in System32\Drivers: sptd.sys, secdrv.sys, sptd.sys, sptdNNNN.sys (NNNN = numbers). Here are some more information:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/archive/index.php/t-7868.html
For the deinstallation there is sptdinst_x86.exe.

It works
