| | $RECYCLE.BIN folder shows on drives although "Don't Show Hidden" set Under Folder Options, I have the "Don't show hidden files, folders, or drives" checked. Yet, there is a folder called $RECYCLE.BIN on every drive showing when I'm viewing my folders. I don't recall it showing before I had to do a malware and virus sweep. Does this mean it is not a hidden file, or that its attributes were changed? If so, is it safe to change it back to hidden manually? TIA |

| | Hello Webbiz, Yep, if the $RECYCLE.BIN folders are not faded, then it sounds like the hidden and/or system attribute has been cleared for them. You could open a elevated command prompt, and type the command below and press Enter for each $RECYCLE.BIN for each drive letter one at a time to add these attributes back. attrib +s +h "C:\$Recycle.Bin" /s /dRepeat the command above substituting C for each drive letter you have a $RECYCLE.BIN folder on. Hope this helps, Shawn |
