Can’t Unhide Folders

  • 0

I searched other discussion for this answer but it seems the suggested solutions did not solve the problem I have.

I have several folders that are hidden and the hide/unhide tick box in the folder properties is disabled. I tried the attrib command in the command prompt but “Not resetting system file” shows back. I also tried the regedit and it still didn’t fix this prob but I am not sure if I did the right setting in the regedit. All my folders shows a link which won’t open my hidden folders either.

Would be great if somebody could help.
