Dear all,
In one directory, I got one file hidden by others, I use dir /A:H to list
it, but it cannot be listed. Is there any method or tools to make it visible.

Thanks.
 
Open any folder & choose the TOOLS menu. Then choose FOLDER OPTIONS

Click the VIEW tab, select 'SHOW HIDDEN FILES & FOLDERS'

Click APPLY & then click OK

You will now be able to view hidden files/folders.

I hope this helps.
 
Sorry, forgot to mention

Right-click the file in question & choose PROPERTIES

Remove the check mark from the HIDDEN check box

Click APPLY & then click OK

Now, the file is visible
 
The text of the OP's message (which you impolitely omitted in its entirety)
indicated he wanted to use the command line to accomplish "unhiding" a
particular file, not make ALL hidden files visible and NOT with the GUI.
Reading comprehension ain't your strong point, is it Bubba?
 
Your name (colon) reflects your image & attitude I think

Lose the attitude please because you only make yourself look stupid
 
You could also say that the original question should have been asked in a DOS
group & not Windows 2000, couldn't you Colon?

Click to expand...

The file may have the System attribute set. Try DIR /A:S to list files
with the system attribute or DIR /A to list all files regardless of
attributes.
