    How to find exact hidden document.
    « on: August 29, 2018, 05:21:23 PM »
    So I have a folder of pictures, about 5,000 to be exact and I saw that the "Show Hidden Items" box was not checked, so i clicked it, now it says i have 5,001 images, but i dont know which one it is, is the a way to find out? Cuz it'd be a real pain to check every line of pictures until i found it.

    In Details view, if you right-click one of the Columns, there is a 'More' Option; that will take you to a list where you can select "Attributes" to be displayed as a column.

    Afterwards you can show Hidden items and then sort by Attributes by clicking the column. The item that was hidden should have "H" in it's attributes column and will likely be at the very top or the very bottom of the list.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Well if you remember any of the letters in the file name you can try searching for it using the search bar. Or think of what it's name could be.
