Revert back of hidden files

S

Surajit

I have a large volume of datas in my 4 GB capacity pen drive. But due to a
virus attack all the folders (but not the files) are disappearing from my pen
drive. Later only I found that these folders are converted into hidden
folders. Now, how I can revert back these folders to their original state
(i.e. non hidden). I had tried by making new folders and copy the content of
the hidden folders to the new folder. But this becomes more time consuming
because there are total not less than 120 folders. Is there any simple way?

attrib -h ?:\ /S /D

Where ? is the letter assigned to the USB stick
