Virus has set my files in drives to Hidden. Step to restore all hidden files.


Steps to restore hidden files, drives, and folders.  Also will restore hidden Start Menu items and desktop icons.
STEP1:
1. Click Start > Run > type CMD2. Dos will open type cd\3. Now type the drive letter in which you want to Unhide the files lets suppose in this example it is C: this will open the C: drive4. If you want to see all of the hidden folders and files,  type C:\>dir/ah5. Next type attrib *. -h -s /s /d

STEP 2 - Option for unhiding individual folders
1. Click Start > Run > type CMD
2. Type cd\  at the DOS prompt3. Now type the drive letter in which you want to Unhide the files lets suppose in this example it is C: this will open the C: drive
4. If you want to see all hidden files and folders type C:\>dir/ah (*you will now see the files/folders with hidden attributes )5. Type “attrib [folder-name] -r -a -s -h”.
Note: If plan on unhiding individual files, you should type the entire filename plus the extension (ie: attrib budget.doc -r -a -s -h)


Another quicker and more automated method would be to use this command where C is the Drive Letter:
attrib -s -h -r C:/*.* /s /d
