Attrib command
Posted on 2013-01-16
I am trying to use the Attrib to unhide the directory d:\users and all subfolders.
I entered attrib -h -s d:\users\*.* /s which I thought was the command, but it keeps displaying "File not found d:\users"

I think what itguy565 is saying is to drop the "\*.*" after the d:\users so the command would be:
attrib -h -s d:\users /S /D (the "/D" processes folders as well as files)
attrib -h -s d:\users /S /D (the "/D" processes folders as well as files)
Ok -
If I enter
attrib -h -s d:\users it unhides the d:\users directory.
But I want to unhide all subfolders of the d:\users direcotry. I thought that I entered
attrib -h -s d:\users\*.* /S in the past but I get File not found if I do!

With the d:\users folder hidden the system can't "see" the folders within to set the attribute. You could create a text file of the folders and create a script that loops through the text file to set each one or you can unhide d:\users and all sub folders then re-hide d:\users. Haven't tried the last option so test it first.
