| Sep 15, 2013 at 20:17 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | @BlacklightShining He specified trying to use "Attrib", which removes the actual hidden attribute. Which is also what his title specifically refers to. The solution he himself posted specifically removes the attribute, so I'm going to say that there's no reason to assume that's not what he wants to do. ;) | |
| Sep 15, 2013 at 20:10 | comment | added | Blacklight Shining | @techie007 Possibly. We still don't know whether he just wants to see them, or if he actually wants them unset as hidden and system. | |

| Sep 15, 2013 at 20:01 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | Is this a question? | |

| Sep 15, 2013 at 19:48 | comment | added | ADTC | Yes, just want to warn the asker that his command line script will permanently discard the hidden and system attribute for all files on his disk, whereas the options I mention will simply show these files in Explorer. It really looks like he just wants to see the files, not actually change their attributes to visible/non-system (I would consider changing them system-wide a very bad thing to do). | |
| Sep 15, 2013 at 19:46 | comment | added | user | @ADTC Notice the self-answer. | |
| Sep 15, 2013 at 19:45 | comment | added | ADTC | Before you do this, are you just trying to view the hidden files in Explorer? If yes, you only need to edit a setting in Windows Explorer... not permanently discard the hidden setting of files! (Folder options > View > Show hidden files, folder and drives / Hide protected operating system files) | |
