Free Commander Copying files, still unseen

#1 Post by trahcwolf » 04.05.2010, 18:47

I am restoring files previously hidden by Free Hide Folder
Free Commander 2009.02a found them!
I made a new folder, using Windows Explorer, named CJV
Using Free Commander, I copied the found files and folders into it.

From Windows Explorer, the CJV folder has
no music in it at all, and no files whatsoever

From Free Commander, I see them and can run them easily.
How can I get Windows Explorer to see them again?

I remember that Free Hide Folder uses the SuperHidden-method to hide files in the running windows-session.
By booting from Boot-CD (maybe Linux or Windows PE) or another partition they are visible.

Maybe these links will help you to get them back:

Thanks for the reply
Although I don't care how the files are hidden. I was trying to figure a way of unhiding them

I found it with a simple free utility called Directory Freedom.
With it, I was able to view the files as Hidden/System files, change them to
readable, usable files.

This was your problem?

Then I think your explorer is configured to hide hidden an system files while your FC is configured to show them!
For setting this hide and system attribute you don't need any tools.
Select the file/folder and press ALT & Enter or chose file > attributes/timestamp in FC to change them.

The links abowe also show unhide commands for "superhidden", but this super-attribute wasn't your problem.
