iam able to see some hidden folders(are partially visible)
and configuration files in all of my folders and drives.can
anyone tell me why this has happened.is this due to any
virus.iam not able to delete some of them for example i
have a hidden icon representing the recycle bin and a
folder named System Volume Information.
please help me.thank you.
Do This to get rid of it
1) Open Windows Explorer
2) Click on Tools Menu
3) Click on Folder Options
4) Click on View Tab
5) In Advance Setting Select Do Not Show hidden Files and Folders
If you do what cits told you, the files that are "partlly visible" wil not be visible anymore - but if you want to make them "visible" right click on the file, go properties and the new window will pop up. You will see "Attributes:" on the bottom, right - below that you deselect the box on the left of "Hidden" and cilck OK. After that, the file will be visible like every other.Quote:
