Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

Ask a question
what if the hidden folders are saved on your hard drive and not in the C:?

what can I do to retrieve all of my hidden folders since tools.>folder options>check "show hidden folders" > apply> ok doesnt work???

how will I be able to retrieve them?

tried reformatting my pc but then it is still the same, I cant seem to open them... HELP!!!!

Another way.

Slave your HD to another HD/comp ( no need to bolt it in, just cable it & leave it outside the case )
You may have a choice of jumper settings on the master HD, such as master with slave or ms.

Install freeCommander & you will be able to see your folder/files. Copy & paste as required.

1. Go to your Start > Run, type regedit and press enter. This will open registry editor.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folde r\Hidden\SHOWALL

Note:

DELETE the value CheckedValue in the right window if it already there and type is REG_SZ

Now create a new DWORD value again with the same name CheckedValue.

3. Double click the value called CheckedValue, and modify its data value (DWORD Value) to 1 (0×00000001) . Close registry editor after this.

simple solution...use advanced search option and select hidden files..then type the required folder name in the search list...the list shows all your hidden files with that name then select properties by right clicking on the folder and remove the hidden option...one more solution is, you might have stored your hidden folder in some other folder...right click on the outer folder select hidden option and press apply(don't hit ok button as the box will lose and you will lose your outer folder too, I mean it will be hidden from you)....now uncheck the hidden option and then say apply/ok....your problem is solved..suggestion: always use some good antivirus and protect your computer/laptop....
