Many virus especially from Indonesia, are hiding our files with Super Hidden attribute activated(System files).
How to change the attribute. If previous post is just viewing them, this time will unhide them so can be viewed at other computer without any setting.
For example, we have a file which is super hidden. How to see if a file is super hidden, see the properties of the file and see if hidden option cannot be changed.
There is 2 ways:
1. With the help of command prompt (Preferable For Little Little data i.e. in KB's)
2. By downloading attribute changing software
In first method, we just need a command prompt. I am using windows xp, but as I know it also can be used at win 95/98 and understanding the basic of CMD command
Follow these steps:
1. Open command prompt from
"Start-> All program -> Accesories -> Command Prompt"
or
"Start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> OK".
2. Go to the folder where your data that you want to change the attribute.
3. use the attrib command to change the attributes as:
attrib/S d:\1234 -s -h -a
this will make all the files and subdirectories of given path unhidden and will also unset the "system file" attribute.
Note: please have patience, if you have large data in given path as it may take hours if we our giving path for data in Gb's.
The following method will be a better choice for large amount of data.
The easy way is using free program and you should will not having any problem like at Hard Way, because it is not using a command but clicks!
Follow these steps:
1. Download Free Attribute Changer 5.30 from http://www.petges.com/
at the Download Page:http://webplaza.pt.lu/~rpetges/download/download.html
. 2. Install it.
3. You may be don't know how to start it. You must Right-click at files/folders, "Change Attributes..."
4. If you want to unhide it from super hidden unselect "Hidden" and "System" options, and if you want to make it super hidden just select those!
5. OK
Easy isn't, this is a FREEWARE that I found. It also can change the time stamp.
Hope it useful
