Unhide Hidden Folders In a USB Flash drive

You might have come across such a situation that your folders or files stored on your USB Flash drive vanished without your knowledge. This is because, certain malware can hide all folders and files in a USB Flash drive.

Unhiding them is a pain because the attribute is set as "SYSTEM" instead of "HIDDEN". However, there are some solutions to unhide hidden files or folders caused by a virus.

USB Hidden Folder Fix is a small portable tool that can fix all invisible folders and their subfolders with a click. Just run the tool, select USB drive, and click ‘Unhide the folder’ button.


Note: As I have no hidden folders on my USB drive, I can’t guarantee that this program can unhide hidden folders.

USB Hidden Folder Fix can be downloaded free at source here.

    why doesn't people use command prompt these days.
    using attrib with * wildcard you can unhide everything in the drive with a single command, including subfolders and files .

    Not everyone is computer literate. That software can help those kids or elderly that doesn't even know what command prompt is.
