<div>
so you say you do have permissions to change but it's too much work to unhide all folders?<br />
<br />
how about you open a command prompt and do it with attrib?<br />
<br />
1. go to &quot;start&quot; --&gt;&quot;run&quot; &nbsp;type &quot;command&quot;<br />
2. type destinationdrive: &nbsp;(e.g c:)<br />
3. if you want to unhide all files and folders on this drive type:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; attrib -h -s *.*/s<br />
4. if you want just one folder use &nbsp;attrib -h -s destinationdrive\destinati<wbr />onfolder/s<wbr /><br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; e.g &nbsp;attrib -h -s c:\testfolder\hiddenfolder<wbr />/s<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />

how about you open a command prompt and do it with attrib?

1. go to "start" -->"run"  type "command"
2. type destinationdrive:  (e.g c:)
3. if you want to unhide all files and folders on this drive type:
    attrib -h -s *.*/s
4. if you want just one folder use  attrib -h -s destinationdrive\destinationfolder/s
    e.g  attrib -h -s c:\testfolder\hiddenfolder/s

Hope this helps,

One of my network drives got infected with a virus and after cleaning using <br />
Symantec, all of the folders became invisible, so in order to see them i have to modify the folder view options to show hidden files and folders. I don't want to do that for everyone just like I don't want to have to rename and copy each one of these folders as they all have different permissions. Is there an easier way?

Folders Have become hidden

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Vulnerabilities

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
