Command Prompt tricks.

Its quit handy to use command prompt for making folders & files visible…

#Don’t worry if you don’t know How to use Command prompt

You just need to follow the steps & type a single line code or you can use system interface also.

It may be possible that you have already tried system interface method means going to Organize then folder option & view.

than also its ok!!

Command prompt method has a high probability of success.

  

Step 1:Press “Window Button +R Key” to start Run.

Step 2: Type  cmd   only at text box and press Ok button.

Step 3: On Command Prompt you may find something like

1.You need to change Command prompt directory

Just type:   d:  and press enter

2. You don’t need to change directory

Just type: attrib –r –s –h D:\ *.* /s /d

Note:

# you can change D with any other drive name, even with your pen drive too.

#sometime command prompt may ask you for Administrator permission so, you need to use command prompt with run as Administrator option.

In both the codes above we are removing the properties of files and folders (-ve sign)

*.*  : (filename.extention) indicates all files with all extentions in your current directory.

-r : Enabling files or folders for read, write & delete.

-a : Turn off archive flag

-s : System(or system attribute flag off) command files

-h : Hiding off

/s : Switch to set  attributes on subdirectories found within the specified path.

/d : Switch to change current drive in addition to changing current directory for a drive.

I think now you are able to access your hidden files………
