dir/a



to find all files in the directory, you use the following command:



dir/s



therefore, to find all files in all directories, with all hidden files included, you would use



dir /a /s



this will bring up a lot of files really fast, so you can list them by page by:



dir /p



and ctrl-c to cancel.



You can change the attributes of a file (like from hidden to not hidden) by using the following command:



attrib



and use it such as



attrib textfile.txt -h



to get rid or the hidden attribute.

On the other hand, if you go to your directory window, click tools in the pull down menu, folder options, view tab, and click the show hidden files and folders, you would be able to see hidden files in your directory. And then if you right click the hidden file (it will appear slightly transparent) you can go to properties and change the attributes of the file there, ex. take the hidden file attribute away.How do you find a hidden file in DOS?open the command window and enter c:\ to get to the root then run the command
