Cum sa recuperati Hidden Files and Folders (mot-a-mot)

For non-Romanian speaking folks – English description at the end of the article.

Aseara m-am dus la sora mea cu laptopul de pe care scriu. Din moment ce nu agreez sa vada ce filmulete sexy (porno adica) am pe hard, am mutat toate fisierele respective intr-un folder la care am dat click dreapta, properties - am bifat ultima optiune (hidden), apoi am bifat apply to all folders, subfolders and files (ceva de genul) si am dat ok. Ca prin minune a disparut din folderul My Documents. Zis si facut. A trecut si vizita mea, m-am intors acasa si “Hai sa fie vizibil din nou folderul deocheat!”.

Ma balbai eu prin My Documents, cand la properties, cand la folder options, cand la help and support, cand pe net. Sa imi bag picioarele daca am gasit solutia corecta si viabila la problema existentiala pe care o aveam. Cum stiam ca oricum folderul sexy apare la Search, am dat Search all files and folders (bifand totusi mai jos More advanced options – Search hidden files and folders) la un film pe care acel folder il ascundea cu atata maiestrie. Am gasit filmul, am dat Stop. Apoi ca sa nu ma dau batut asupra incercarii mele de a face folderul vizibil ca inainte am dat in lista de rezultate click dreapta pe acel film, Open containing folder si s-a deschis acel folder intr-o fereastra separata… era gol-golut. Am zis ca trebuie sa mai fie ceva ce tre sa incerc. Am dat click dreapta pe acel folder gol, Properties si uite asa am debifat ultima optiune cu Hidden, aparand iarasi fereastra urmatoare am bifat Apply to all folders, subfolders and files. Si uite asa a aparut ca prin minune la loc folderul deocheat. Victorie!!!

Mot-a-mot!!!

Deci ca sa faceti un folder hidden:

Click dreapta pe acel folder

Properties (se deschide fereastra respectiva)

Check (bifati) Hidden

Check (bifati) Apply these changes to this folder, subfolders and files

Ok

Ok

Ca sa fie iar vizibil acel folder:

Start

Search

Check (bifati) All files and folders

Scrieti numele unui fisier care stiti ca se afla in acel folder

Click More advanced options – Search hidden files and folders

Click Search

Dupa ce gaseste fisierul din acel folder ascuns (voi stiti numele fisierului si folderului respectiv) - Stop

Click dreapta pe fisierul respectiv

Open containing folder (se deschide o noua fereastra cu folderul ascuns gol)

Click dreapta

Properties

Uncheck (debifati) Hidden (apare o noua fereastra)

Check (bifati) Apply these changes to this folder, subfolders and files

Ok

Ok

Bafta!!! La cat mai multe foldere secrete, fara rusine si jena! Fara teama ca nu vor mai fi vizibile din nou!!!

PS: daca aveti hidden files and folders, va recomand sa debifati More advanced options – Search hidden files and folders din comanda search din start. Asta ca poate vine mama, tata, sora in urma voastra sa va verifice.

 

To hide a file and/or folder: go to desired file or folder – right click desired file or folder – properties – hidden – ok (when you want to hide a folder, windows will ask you if you want every file and folder inside that folder to be hidden, so click ok if you wish to do that). To recover a specific hidden file or folder go to Search – All files and folders – More advanced options – Check search hidden files and folders – Write the name of the file or folder which you hid earlier inside the All or part of the file name – Right click on that file/folder – Properties – Unchek hidden – OK. For this to work, you need to know the name of the file or folder you hid. If you don’t know any of the file names inside a hidden folder, there’s a little harder way to recover them: in the All or part of the file name box of the search option write the extension type of the hidden files (for example “jpg”, “png”, “avi”, etc.). The search option will then give you all the files of the specific extension. Still, to recover the whole folder, right click the hidden file – Open containing folder – Right click inside the folder that opens afterwards – Properties – Uncheck hidden – OK. If you aren’t very sure how to proceed, you can leave a comment below, and I will answer promptly. Good luck!
