The command above is spelled wrong. It should be
attrib -r [drive:]*.* /s /d
don't forget the space between /s and /d
Just wanted to share in case someone has a a similar issue like my customer where all files and directory were hidden and the hidden attribute was greyed out.
This means the files and folders are classified as system folders, to fix this use:
attrib -s -h [drive:]*.* /s /d
this will change the attribute on all directory and folder in the specified drive letter including subdirectory.
or use:
attrib -s -h [drive:][Path]*.* /s /d
to change only files in a specified path or directory
do not use this on you c: drive because it will completely expose all system folders which in most cases is not a good idea.
Use it for specific files and folders or USB drives where files are hidden or wrongly classified as system files.
