Hello, 

If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in 

hidden mode. 

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:\*.* 

Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Regards.

thanks a lot the problem for my external drive was solved.... thanks a lot.... but now a new problem arise... every pen drive i connect turns to shortcut folder and when i use the instruction given by you it solves the problem temporarily, and if i connect it again it again get converted to shortcut folders(THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR MY EXTERNAL HARD DISK IT IS SOLVED, BUT FOR OTHER REMOVABLE DISK). when i remove my pen drive or any other removable disk it gives me the message as follow:
====================================================================
scvhost.exe - No Disk
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:."
====================================================================
