Mok Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I am sorry but I didn't know where else to post this. I havehidden a folder with all its contents in it in my documents by going: Right click-Properties and clicked hide then hid all the subfolders and files. I cannot find the files or folder (Obviously) How do I make it visible again? I have even tried control panel folder options and that. Please help. You can delete this after I find out how Mok Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131992-hidden-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 To unhide a file/folder. First do what ratcateme said so hidden files/folders are visiable. Next find the file/folder you want to unhide and right click on it, select Properties from the menu. Now uncheck the Hidden checkbox.

corbin Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 If you get really desperate, you could just use attrib (cmd line). Something like: cmd cd \path\to\files attrib -H <files> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131992-hidden-folder/#findComment-686068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 You could also copy the contents of the folder to a new folder. To access the folder just use the address bar in explorer c:/documents and settings/username/my documents/hidden folder Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131992-hidden-folder/#findComment-686492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't! Put it in there. Kidding. Maybe. Besides, if I saw a critical/do not open folder, that would just make me want to open it.
