Why the folder still hidden? (Unhide Folder after clean viruses)

We have clean viruses already, why the folder still hidden?

Reason: When the viruses infected to your system it give the attribute of your folder as : SUPPER HIDDEN AND SYSTEM FILE OR READ ONLY. And the viruses know that we can view that Supper Hidden folder by : On the windows explorer click “ Tool” > “ Folder Option” > “ View” > scroll down and tick on ” Show Hidden files and folder “ and untick “ Hide Protected Operating System Files( Recommended) ” > Apply > Ok. So viruses will disable folder options, or Set the Supper Hidden in the Registry.

Solutions: Commandine to unhide the folder and files:
>Click start > run > type : ” cmd ” then type the command:
attrib d:\*.* /d /s -h -r -s

Note: “ d:” is your drive letter, You can change to specific drive you want.

**** How to show “ Folder Option”
Click start > run > type: regedit > browse to this path :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
> Double click on the key name “ NoFolderOptions” and give the value =0
> log off or restart computer.
