No Folders/Directory showing in USB Pen/Flash Drive:
=========================================

No windows user might be there who hasn't face this most irritating problem. When a user connects the flash drive, then some hidden services (virus) make all folder hidden and and creates a replica of that folder as FolderName.Exe

Now what to do???

all you have to do is a little command scripting. Follow the steps:

•  Open Command window, type "cmd" in Run and press Enter:
• Switch to the Flash drive directory, suppose the directory is F:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>F:

•  List all files and Directories including hidden using following command:

F:\dir /a /w

Here here can see all your Directories, but which were not showing in Windows Explorer.

What happened is the little irritating virus made your directories hidden.

•  Now change the attribute of the Directories which were not showing using following command:

         F:\attrib -s -h -r

• And delete the fake directory.Exe file

F:\del -s -q

   OR F:\rmdir -s -q

you can also delete some more files/directories from your flash drive which are responsible for this problem like:

F:\del -s -q Recycler.exe

F:\del -s -q Explorer.exe

F:\rmdir -s -q Recycler

F:\rmdir -s -q Recycle

etc... and all other unknown files / folders exists in your flash drive.

Now your Directories are visible in Windows Explorer.

Happy Computing!!!
