Had some serious bugs that 'Super Dave' is spending a lot of time helping me with on the Malware forum, but I thought this question should go here.
One, or more. of the bugs had made all my existing files inaccessible. I finally had my 'Duh' moment when I realized it had simply made them hidden, as I noticed that search would bring the files up, but they wouldn't show up on my drive. Finally checking properties on one, I saw that it was checked 'Hidden', and checking more, I see they all are.
Anyway, another 'Duh' moment occurred when I realized I have a lot of individual files on my C drive, but they are not in a folder, which means there is no 'folder' to uncheck 'Hidden' on, and a properties menu on the hard drive does not offer that option.
So the question is, is there any way to change these files from 'Hidden' without doing it one at a time? I've probably got 80 of them, and doubt that I could even remember all the names in order to bring them up in a search.
