· Hi Tech Guyz I've created a shared folder on Server 2008 R2 name Samir h drive, the share name of that folder is hdrive. It was working fine but now its become hidden and i'm unable to unhide it on the server 2008 as the hidden option is grayed out so i cant change it, but i still have access to the shared folder (hdrive) from the client computer. Could you please advise me what i need to do to unhide the folder on the server. I've also tried attrib command but no luck. Many thanks Samir

Hello, sorry but this is Directory Services forum. Please ask then here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads Please logon on the server that hosts the folder and make sure that you have needed NTFS permissions. Once done, change what you want. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, Try this command: attrib -H -S -R <driveletter>:\file/folder path /S /D The folders should once again be visable, it will no longer be greyed out.
