• can't see the hidden files option change

  I have my old laptop computer hard drive connected to my new. I want to import my favorites but can not find the file because it is hidden. When I try to access the file options and click on 'See the hidden files', apply, then OK, the folder appdata still does not show. When I return to the folder options, the button "View hidden files" is unchecked. I tried to make hidden files visible on the new laptop & the old drive hard but can't seem to understand.

  Also, when I enter E:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles (change user & the drive letter), result is found.

  I really need these bookmarks, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

And then the team is down. I have no more recognizable files and filenames have changed not to mention there are now 1 folder with more than 10,000 files in there that I have no idea what to do with them. I can sometimes use the search engine on the start menu and locate the file I'm looking for, but if I try to go to the location of the file, it's just a mess when need me it I don't recognize anything that should be in this folder. So far it has not affected the performance of my computer just my ability to perfom tasks on my c: drive. If someone can tell me please how to restore to its correct state. I searched directory fixing programs watched through the forums watched even though windows has installed a magic button that would have but all the files in order and hide files that need to be hidden again.

• How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

  

  Hope you can help in this case...

  It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

  Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.

• Folder options - view the hidden files and folders

  Hello

  On this same laptop, there seems to be a problem with * Folder Options - Show hidden files and Folders.*

  Every time I have to 'see' this option to display - then I go back to check/confirm the changes - but the box is new 'unchecked '. Despite clicking on apply then Ok to save the changes. The changes are never saved...

  I have used other laptops of this same option and it worked fine.

  Please indicate if I need to apply or change other settings for this to work?

  Kind regards.

  A reasonable explanation from Microsoft for this?
  To be honest I have never heard talk about something like that. ?:|

  Since when you noticed this behavior?
  Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era? Maybe some update is responsible for this.

  I really hope that someone here will explain why this happen.

• Can not find the hidden files

  I hid some folders in the Favorites section in internet explore and now I can't find them. I went to the control panel and chosen to show all my hidden files, but the files have not reappeared. Any suggestions?

  Try an SR to before you hid.

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• Find and rename the hidden files

  Hello

  Is there a way to list all hidden files in a directory? By hidden I mean files that start with ".".

  Thank you.

  Thanks for the replies. I understand the logic, but I kept getting a blank list with myDir.entryList (QDir::Hidden); That was my original problem. But it seemed to solve it using this myDir.entryList(QDir::Files |) QDir::Hidden). Thank you very much.

• Help blackBerry Smartphones! the hidden files/pictures, tried to explore but without success!

  I created a few files containing images in my photo camera and selected so that these records be hidden. The images themselves of these hidden folders were always in my folder images in 'media' so I hid each image as well. I have read other suggestions to go explore and then selecting the option "Show hidden" and what I have hidden NOTHING will appear. Hidden folders do not appear, nor the individual hidden images. I've looked everywhere. Help, please! Thank you.

  Well, I tried to reproduce what you were doing. For me, it works exactly as it should:

  1. I created a folder on my map of media, called 'test '.
  2. I put a picture in this folder
  3. I hid the image
  4. I then hid the folder
  5. Without 'Show hidden', the folder does not appear
  6. With 'Show hidden', the folder will appear greyed out, and I can bring up its properties and display it
  7. Once the folder is not hidden, I can then navigate inside, then, seeing the photo file greyed, I can also display

  So I don't quite know why it does not work in your case... not my not adequately replicate what you did?

• Deleting the hidden files and directories draining

  My son recently gave my wife his old office.  His run of Windows XP.  I went in the BACK to see what he may have left on the disc and found a lot of directories for games that have not been completely uninstalled.  I don't know what method he used to remove the games, he said it was deleted, I'm guessing he used the method of the program change/remove, but am not sure that I found a lot of directories with files hidden in them.  For example after you type dir /a in c:\my games\mah jong adventures, I found this... 2009-09-10 05:55 listed.  How can I get rid of this?

  Very good, thanks for the info.
