Go to the drive where the files is hidden. say the file is in drive d. it's a folder named data. the full path will be (d:\data\). to go to the destination drive you can use command : drive: push then push enter, for example, type = d: enter 4.type : attrib -h -s /s /d data where : * h is hidden (we use minus sign to remove it) * s is system * /s means process all files in the directory (recursive) * /d means process directory/folder as well |

| Re: Show super hidden files in Vista
Racer- I tried doing this for hidden files on a flash drive but it didn't completely work. It did unhide the folder that contains the files, but the files themselves are still hidden. I know the files are there because when I did a virus scan on the drive, it showed all the file names as they were being scanned. However, when I open it, it still says folder is empty. Dr.Jones- I also tried your option, but when I go to the command prompt screen and enter in the destination of the flash drive, it says "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". I've already checked "show hidden files" on the folder preferences. Is this happening because it's a removable drive? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated ![]() |
