They are some folders like "System Volume Information",$recycle.bin where the
user don't have access to it.
For such folders "Access Denied" message will appear. So don't worry about it.
Enter that command, wait for a while until the process get completed and then
make sure that your files are removed from hidden mode.
OR
Try this 1
Click on Start --> In search box, type folder options and press Enter.
[If you are using Windows XP then type folder options in Run and press Enter]
"Folder Options" will be opened. Click on the "View" tab.
Now select the option "Show hidden files, folders or drives" and uncheck the
check box "Hide protected operating system files" --> Click on "OK" button.
Now look for your files in your external drive.
Later undo the changes you have made by once again going to "Folder Options"
--> Click on "View" tab and click on "Restore Defaults" button --> Click on "OK".
Good Luck

Hi Poogle,
Got it. Try this:
1. Search for the process called CTFMON.EXE and kill it through Task Manager.
2. Search CTFMON.EXE file in the Startup menu and delete it.
3. Boot the system in safe mode and open the command prompt.
4. Disable hidden, system, and read only attributes for autorun.inf and recycled folder delete them.
5. Clean the recycle bin.
6. Repeat these steps for all the drives on your computer.
7. Open registry editor and modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry with 03ffffff value after searching it in following registry folders:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARE
8. Reboot and scan your system with latest antivirus software.
Good luck

The problematic folder is RECYCLER.000 which has malicious content and not $recycle.bin
The properties of that folder shows Hidden attribute as checked and in grey, which means i will not be able to uncheck the box
the problem remains unresolved...
