Usually when I compile OpenSSL, a folder named out32dll is generated
with 34 files. I have been successfully doing this with every version
of OpenSSL on XP in the last 3 years, until yesterday.
After building, I found only 9 files in the folder. I thought something
wrong and tried to delete the folder. XP deleted those 9 files and told
me, "The directory is not empty."
I always check the "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide
proected OS files" in the Folder Option. CheckedValue and DefaultValue
are 1 and 2 under the entry
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL".
Guessing a certain process is holding the folder, I restarted and
failed to delete it again. Ending the explorer.exe process didn't help,
and Sysinternals Process Explorer didn't find any suspicious process
either.
Since there is a DOS from Windows 98 on the same computer, I booted
into DOS, and found the disappeared 25 files, which are just normal
files without RHS attributes. I deleted the folder in DOS, and came
back to XP to compiled it again. It's still the same. I found nothing
wrong in FAT and ROOT sectors with DiskEdit.
I thought something wrong with the FAT32 partition, but chkdsk's report
was OK. I created a new folder for OpenSSL on a NTFS partition and
compiled it again, the folder out32dll was still weird. So it has
nothing to do with the File System.
I heard Network Neighborhood might help, and shared the folder. Those
hidden files can been seen and copied on another computer. I copied and
shared them on the other computer, but the original computer cannot see
them. I zipped them and copied it back. The hidden files in zip can be
seen with WinRAR and Total Commander, but hidden again after unzip. I
know they are in the unzipped folder, becoz I can't delete the folder.
Closing Symantec AntiVirus didn't help, KillBox didn't work. Rootkit
Revealer found several registry entries hidden from Windows API, but
they seem not the reason.
Another thing is there are 2 exe files in the 9 normal files, which
can't be searched by Total Commander with *.exe, but can be searched
with *.*.
Thanks for your time to read this boring story. Any tip is appreciated.
