Cannot view hidden folders

I use Windows 7 and I can't figure out how to show hidden files. I tried through the "file properties", through Control Panel (Classic Mode and Control Panel Home', but I couldn't find the "OPTIONS RECORDS' anywhere.) Is there another way to find my hidden folder?

That's what I see in the CONTROL PANEL---> APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION, no folder option either.

Please someone help me, I am in desperate need of this folder!

Ahhh. Haven't seen this in a long time.

  • I can't view my folders using the folder options

    In my folder properties, I can check/uncheck "Read only", but the 'Hidden' attribute has a checkbox selected but grayed out and I can't view it.

    I had the virus in my system that automatically hidden my every folder in all drives.

    I open the folder and files by using the path that is iritating too.
    I can't view the folders because of the "Hidden" attribute
    Wiki also says that I should be able to disable the 'Hidden' attribute, but not on my system.
    I'm the admin and the only user of this computer.  Of course, I can 'see' the folder hidden because of the-> Folder Options Control Panel.
    Thanks a lot for any help :)

    Are you sure that the virus has been correctly removed?  Run a TDSSKiller and a Malwarebytes scan on the machine.

    This grayed out checkbox "Hidden" usually means that the file also has the "system" attribute set on it, this can be solved by using the Attrib command at a prompt (run as administrator).

    At the elevated command prompt, use the CD command to navigate to the root folder:

    cd\

    In the root folder, you can get a list of your folder with the following attributes:

    attrib /s /d

    The list will be long, it is best to redirect the output to a file:

    attrib /s /d > c:\attrib.txt

    to open the file from the command prompt just enter the path:

    c:\attrib.txt  (then )

    A peculiar quirk of the Attrib command, is that if the system and hidden attributes are defined, you need to remove both at the same time, you cannot delete one while the other exists.  To remove the hidden attribute and the system:

    attrib h s/s/d

    On the issue of the root folder this command will remove the hidden attribute and system on all folders on the disk... the problem is the attrib command automatically treats all files, so it will also remove the system attribute on all files, including all the files in the Windows directory and its subdirectories.

    That's the kind of mess that sometimes treat when dealing with viruses or other parasites such.  Another problem even worse that sometimes must be addressed due to viruses, it's permissions changed, it is sometimes difficult to know what did exactly a virus, and how the system is compromised following a infection, for these reasons administrators COMPUTER in business or enterprise environment very often consider servers or workstations reviews to be compromised beyond confidence after an infection and the only acceptable in these environments of the Mission is to flatten the box and restore an image or to rebuild the machine.

  • Resources shared on XP in Windows 7 but cannot view shared resources on Windows 7 XP?

    Suddenly, my network has gone from wack-o!

    I cannot view shared resources (disks, folders) on the 7 machine Windows XP machine, but can view shared resources on Windows 7 machine from XP machine?

    Machine error message Windows 7:
    Windows cannot access \\machine\folder
    You are not allowed access to the
    \\machine\folder.  Contact your network administrator to request access.

    When I created the sharing folders and drives (on both XP machines and 7), the permissions for everyone.  I have the same name of user account on both computers.

    What is going on?

    Your general statement "Windows 7 has problems to access shared resources on XP" is incorrect. Yes, you have problems, but I have and none of my clients, amounts of problems to access the resources on XP Windows 7 boxes boxes. If something has changed in your situation, even if you don't think he has. It is very difficult to solve network problems without being on-site, but your error message does not indicate a problem with the username/password accounts, permissions or misconfigured firewall. All I can do is give you my usual network troubleshooting steps and you suggest to go through them. Also given that the problem comes from the XP box, troubleshooting of small network of Hans-Georg Michna MVP might help.

    http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm - small troubleshooting network by Hans-Georg Michna

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Cannot view files in mini bridge

    When you try to use mini bridge CS6 ID, I can't view the folders. I can watch disks, and places like desktop, but it will only find individual image files and cannot find any records.

    There are some compatibility issues between the last Flash drive and a few Add-ons Firefox or settings. Could see you if anything in this article helps you: 11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox.

    You can also consider turning off new protected in Flash 11.3 mode, since this feature is currently being debugged. See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?

    About the update, which the Adobe gives you usually is just a small installer program that you run that downloads the actual plugin. I recommend having closed all Firefox by doing the updates to Adobe so that none of the files are ignored in the process.

    At least one user has noticed a problem where Adobe installed two versions of Flash-by-side; the other oldest had to be removed manually. See the flash works fine in firefox 14 but I can not update.

  • R7800 cannot see shared folders SMB VPN

    Hello

    I started to use VPN on the R7800 service, and I can use Remote Desktop connection Microsoft 9.3 iOS app to connect to my computer at home (8.1 Windows) through the internet, as if I was on the LAN (192.168.1.2). However, the apps that read SMB shared folders do not detect them (BREW 4 pro). Similarly, on my Nexus 6 p, solid explore cannot open shared folders when connected via VPN. Is it possible to read SMB from Windows shared folders remotely via VPN on the R7800?

    I tried to ping 192.168.1.2 too from my iPad and there is no answer. When I ping my Android devices, however they respond. But, again, RDP to this computer works, so I don't know what is happening, someone with more knowledge can help?

  • Hidden folders can not be displayed

    I recently met the virus named 1hqup.exe. I removed that but now my hidden folders appear but I can't see them because the CACHE TAB is disabled (I can't uncheck hidden option). I think that the virus has made some changes in the registry but I don't know what are the changes and correct. Help, please

    Hi, John.  It is possible that more than one registry entry has changed but try this.  Open an elevated command prompt.  To do this, click on start and type cmd in the box "search programs and files".  Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu.  Right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator".  Copy and paste the following command into the Code box after the prompt > and press ENTER:

    Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL" / v CheckedValue /t REG_DWORD /d 1

    Reset.

    It is also possible that your operating system is still infected then I suggest that you get it checked.  There are many forums where you can do but I posted a selection below which are known to me and I can recommend (in alphabetical order).

  • PROBLEM! Cannot view wireless networks!

    Hi, I am currently running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my office and cannot view wireless networks!

    I tried to use two wireless adapters and both show active although they cannot show all networks.
    LAN works perfectly well and when I try to add a wireless network, it is said "an unexpected error has occurred."
    I have updated drivers for two adapters to the correct version wireless and little. No yellow icon in the Device Manager.
    I also checked to see if power saving has been enabled for the device and power options that are disabled.
    Two wireless adapters are using a USB port, not PCI. I abandoned everything simply! I need some advice on how to solve this problem! I can provide more information if necessary. But please help me with this problem :(
    I also disabled anti virus software and my firewall!
    The wireless adapter, I am using is the:
    TRENDnet TEW-649UB Wireless USB adapter N speed

    UPDATE! :
    We have some progress I uninstalled all the previous windows updates and can now see wireless networks (such as firewall/AV). The problem I have now is that when I try to connect it said "Windows could not connect. He also says in the settings of cards tab my wireless adapter is "authentication attempt.

    Hi Tatiana,

    ·         Have you tried to install the drivers from the manufacturer's Web site?

    ·         Have you checked if the network card works on another computer?

    Download drivers card network from the manufacturer's website and check manually.

    http://www.TRENDnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=1353

    Alternatively, you can deal with this problem due to security software. I suggest that disable you the security like anti-virus and firewall software and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Call the helpline for the manufacturer of your network adapter. It is likely that neither Windows nor the router have problems, it's just a matter of getting the configuration on both put in place settings to work properly together. The manufacturer of the router will be the best resource to learn how to configure their device.
