Hello,

Hi
I am facing a problem. I cannot see my data folders in my portable hard drive. They are forcibly hidden permanently. I tried the solution you told but there comes a message "Access Denied" so what should i try to get myself out of this problem.
Thanks

Hello,

Try this 1

1) Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your pendrive now.

This will remove the autorun.inf files from your pendrive and also from drives.

[Note : Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC]

2) Click on "Start" --> In search box, type cmd. When the "CMD" appears in the

search, right-click on it and select the option "Run as administrator"

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 external drive letter.

Press Enter and wait for the process to get completed.

Now look for your files in your external drive

OR

Try this 1

Click on Start --> In search box, type control folders and press Enter.

"Folder Options" will be opened.

Click on "View" tab --> Select the option "Show hidden files, folders and drives"

and uncheck the check box "Hide protected operating system files" and click on

OK. Now look for your files in your external drive.

Good Luck.
