Hello All, We made no major changes.. but, one of our network folders was no longer visible.. although, we could type in the desired directory and we could get to that directory.. example: //server/OurShareGroups within 'OurShareGroups' was a subdirectory called MainShare, we could not see MainShare (explorer or cmd prompt), but, if we typed in the path we could get to the directory... I UNCHECKED "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)", which now allows me to see the folder within explorer, but, it is still hidden at the cmd prompt. UPDATE: the 'uncheck' above makes the folder visible ON THE SERVER - in explorer - but, it is still not 'displayed' within explorer, on computers within the network domain.... also, we have updated antivirus software w/weekly scans and no problems found.. any thoughts on what might have caused this......and how I might be able to make it display at the cmd prompt? thanks...

Did you use dir /a? Can you see folder name ? Mohammad Javad Bagdeli

if I use dir /a, I CAN see the directory name...

Now use this commands. "local login on fileserver" attrib -S c:\sharefoldername\foldername attrib -H c:\sharefoldername\foldername Mohammad Javad Bagdeli

When I run 'attrib -S', it says: "Not resetting hidden file" When I rund 'attrib -H', it says: "Not resetting system file"

try this one attrib -S -HMohammad Javad Bagdeli

can you move the folders contents to a temp folder, delete the problem folder and recreate it? share with appropriate permissions. is it visible? move the contects from the temp folder to the new folder. Roy Mayo | MCSE

hmmm... not sure how the attributes got set.. but, I am all set now.. thanks..

have you ever heard of the addition of macs causing this problem?..... we have macs on our network drives and it left behind a ds_store file... which is common.. but, that was the ONLY thing in the directory..... which also should have had the other sub-directory which had the attribute of s/h ???
