unhide hidden folder on windows 2003 file server

start run cmd press return

cd to the parent directory e.g. if directory was c:\temp then you would type cd c:\ and press return

once there use the attrib command - type attrib /? for assistance - this can be used to remove hidden attributes

So to remove the hidden attribute from c:\temp and its sub files/folders you would type (after being at the parent of c:\)

attrib c:\temp -h /s (attrib <path> -h removes hidden and /s includes sub files/folders)

hope this link helps.

I executed but the folder is still hidden.

F:\SharedTest>attrib "F:\SharedTest" -h
Not resetting system file - F:\SharedTest

you can remove/add archive, system, hidden and read-only attributes by using + or - and either h r s a

I'd also check your permissions to the folder/s you are trying to alter
