Hi lately, some of my folders in my usb has been hidden. when i go to properties of those folders, i saw the Hidden option i s disabled! how to enable it to uncheck hidden property ? thanks in advancehttp://www.codeproject.com/KB/codegen/DatabaseHelper.aspx

Execute a command line (start -> run -> cmd [enter]), go to parent's folder (cd "c:\somethingsomething") and set an attribute (attrib +h foldername) So in case of folder c:\program files\test\aaa I will run cmd[enter] (optionaly you can change a drive using e.g. d:) cd "c:\program files\test" attrib +h aaa then you can close a window

Hi, in that case use attrib -s i:\docs (removes a system attribute of that file/folder)------- Michal Stoppl MCP, MCSA, MCTS, MCITP, MCT Please always use Mark as answer if you are satisfied with provided solution.

Thanks but still i'm facing the sample problem : I:\>attrib -s I:\Docs Not resetting hidden file - I:\Docs http://www.codeproject.com/KB/codegen/DatabaseHelper.aspx

ok, so: if you want to keep a file/folder system, run: attrib +s -h I:\Docs if you want to remove both system and hidden attribute, run: attrib -s -h I:\Docs------- Michal Stoppl MCP, MCSA, MCTS, MCITP, MCT Please always use Mark as answer if you are satisfied with provided solution.

Thanks Michal this command solved my problem : attrib +s -h I:\Docshttp://www.codeproject.com/KB/codegen/DatabaseHelper.aspx
