Unable to see files & folders in my pen drive Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

I can't see my files and folders in my pen drive after scanning with "Advanced Options - clean files" with nod antivirus software. Although files are not in hidden mode but still it contains my folders as I found it with "properties". 

Could you please suggest how can I fix this problem?
System Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

Hello,

If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in hidden mode. Follow the following steps. 

Step 1: 

 Click on the below link and download the file AutorunExterminator. 
 Extract it --> Double-click on AutorunExterminator --> Plug your pendrive now. 
 This will remove the autorun.inf files from your pendrive and also from drives. 

Step 2: 

 Click on Start -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK. 
 Here I assume, your pendrive as G: 
 Enter this command: attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* 
 You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and paste it. 

Note: Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter. 

 Now check for your files in Pen Drive. 

Step 3: 

 After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 
 Update it --> Perform Full Scan 

Note: Default selected option is "Quick Scan". 

Good Luck!

I had the same problem, the pen drive was not displaying the folders but these folders were there. I solved it by going into the Tools>>>Folder Options>>>View  and checked the option "Hide protected Operating System Files" and the folders came back. I guess some virus attack made these folders as the system folder and these got hidden.
