Below solution worked
1. dir /a
** displays all FOLDERS
2. attrib j:\FolderName
** displays "SH" (system, hidden)
3. attrib j:\FolderName -S -H
** removes "SH" (system, hidden)
4. browse to j:\
** folder is NO longer hidden
1. dir /a
** displays all FOLDERS
2. attrib j:\FolderName
** displays "SH" (system, hidden)
3. attrib j:\FolderName -S -H
** removes "SH" (system, hidden)
4. browse to j:\
** folder is NO longer hidden
So after all the whole problem was that these folders had the system attribute in addition to hidden. Don't mess with the command line, just configure explorer to display system files as well.
