How to reveal the hidden folders in a flashdisk?

[creobiz]

I just got viruses in my flashdisk. They infected thousands files there. Using NOD 32, I managed to removes the viruses and clean the entire storage space (I guess ). But I got a problem. All folders there are hidden and Windows cannot identifies them. They still existed because the used space is still the same.

Is there any way to reveal the hidden folders?

In xp, go to folder options, you may have to find the tab for it and check the "see hidden files or folders" option and you can see the culprit. Otherwise if you reformat it and still has the virus inside, it may be in your system, not in the Flashdisk.

Thanks for the info. I find an antivirus named "Ansav" which have a hidden revealer pluggin in it. It works well and I can open my folders as before. But your solution sounds easier. I will try it when I get the same problem. Thanks.

You shouldn't have ot use a program to view your files, when you follow the above you should select the hidden files and go right click-> properties -> unselect "Hidden" so you can find them again
