RE: Unhide a hidden folder but impossible
Look at the properties of the HD itself , the see if it is the same HIDDEN option as the folders you show...
Are the infections gone ? or its still infected ? Do you have a nice AV program , you could be infected also ?

Ok this is what google comes up with!

Hi John.  It's possible that more than one registry entry has been modified but try this.  Open an elevated command prompt.  To do this, click on Start and type cmd in the "Search programs and files" box.  Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu.  Rightclick on it and choose "Run as Administrator".  Copy and paste the following command in the Code box after the prompt > and hit Enter:


Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL" /v CheckedValue /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Reboot.
It's also possible that your operating system is still infected so I suggest that you get it checked.

Sometimes google is my friend also!

There is nothing to hide and unhide in tte properties of the hd
All of the virus are gone and not infected. And of coarse I have a nice brain that won't harm my computer but the external was infected in another machine (not mine) so the hd isn't mine.

Google doesn't help me. Also the computer that I'm using right now with the external plugged in is 100% clean because I just format it yesterday.

RE: Unhide a hidden folder but impossible
A permissions issue perhaps?

Have you tried bringing the folders over to your machine and seeing if you can change it then?

Check the "Security" tab in properties and see what permissions you have.

Is the file on an external drive?  

If so, was the file made "hidden" whilst said external drive was plugged into another computer?  

Maybe plug the drive back into the "other" machine and change permissions.

Just sayin'   Emptyone

Didn't work also it's a folder not a file.
