Unhide Hidden Folders In a USB Flash drive

You might have come across such a situation that your folders or files stored on your USB Flash drive vanished without your knowledge. This is because, certain malware can hide all folders and files in a USB Flash drive.

Unhiding them is a pain because the attribute is set as "SYSTEM" instead of "HIDDEN". However, there are some solutions to unhide hidden files or folders caused by a virus.

USB Hidden Folder Fix is a small portable tool that can fix all invisible folders and their subfolders with a click. Just run the tool, select USB drive, and click ‘Unhide the folder’ button.


Note: As I have no hidden folders on my USB drive, I can’t guarantee that this program can unhide hidden folders.

USB Hidden Folder Fix can be downloaded free at source here.

    Not everyone is computer literate. That software can help those kids or elderly that doesn't even know what command prompt is.
