How to view hidden files in USB drive

To view Hidden files on usb pendrive 

Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and press Enter. 

Here I assume your pendrive drive letter as G: 

Enter this command :attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* 

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and paste it. 

Note : Replace the letter g with your pen drive letter.

Now check for your files. 

Create your own run commands

Steps to Create run commands of your own

Step 1: The first step is to select the software or application for which you want to make custom Run command. For example, let us consider Google Chrome as the example here. Remember, you can choose any application other than which is already there in the Run command.

Step 2: In the second step, right click on the desktop of your computer system and make a new shortcut.
Right click > New > Shortcut

Step 3: As you select the Shortcut option in the 2nd Step, it will open up a dialog box. And, the dialog box will ask you path of the application or software for which you want to create the Run command.

Step 4: Now, you need to browse through the files and choose the one that shows “chrome.exe”. Well, it is quite obvious that all the executable files can be found in the C drive (or wherever the Operating System has been installed), inside the folder “Program Files”. For example, “C:\Program Files\Google Chrome\chrome.exe”

Step 5: Once you are done with Step number 4, just click on “Next” button and simply provide a relative name to that shortcut. Remember, the same name will be used later in the Run command.

For example, “GC” for Google Chrome

Step 6: Now, click on the “Finish” button. Once it is done, an icon related to that application or software will show up on your computer’s screen. It means that the process of creating shortcut has been done successfully.

Step 7: In this step, just cut and paste that recently made shortcut icon into your computer’s root drive, in its Windows folder.
For example, C:\Windows, Make sure you are the administrator of the computer or have its password.

Step 8: Now, you are done with the set up and can run the application through Run Command. Just go to Run and enter the keyword “GC”, and Google Chrome will begin executing.

To Hide a Folder using "Batch File"

Code for the batch file:

if NOT %pass%== PUT_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Private

echo Private created successfully

goto End

:End

Open the file in Notepad. Replace “type your password here” in the LockCode.txt file with the password you want to use to lock and unlock the protected files and folders. DO NOT forget this password. Save the file as LockCode.bat.

You should now have two files: LockCode.txt and LockCode.bat. If you cannot tell which file is which because the file extensions are not displaying, Folder Options from the Tools menu->view tab

Now you should be able to see the extensions for both files.

Double-click on the LockCode.bat file to create a new folder named Private. The new folder is created in the same directory as the LockCode.bat file.

Place any files and other folders you want to protect into this Private folder. Double-click the LockCode.bat shortcut on the desktop again to lock the Locker folder. You are asked if you are sure if you want to lock the folder. Type a Y if you are sure you want to lock the folder. The folder disappears.

To unlock the Locker folder again, double-click on the LockCode.bat file. You are asked to enter your password.

The folder is available again.

Extra:

// To make this a more secure option for locking files and folders, once you have locked the Locker folder, open the LockCode.bat file in Notepad and remove your password. You may either leave it blank or enter a dummy password. Only when you are ready to unlock your files and folders, should you open theLockCode.bat file again and re-enter your password and save the file again.

Then, you can double-click on the LockCode.bat file to unlock the Locker folder. If you don’t take this precaution, anyone can open your LockCode.bat file and view your password.

To open a .bat file in Notepad, you must open Notepad first. If you double-click on the file like you would if you were opening a text file, the file runs instead of opens.

Once Notepad is open, select Open from the File menu. Select All Files from the Files of type drop-down list to be able to see the LockCode.bat file. Then, you can click Open to open the file.

To protect your password, you can also delete the LockCode.bat file and create it again from the original LockCode.txt file when you need to unlock your files.

NOTE: The LockCode.bat file MUST be in the same directory where the Locker folder was created originally for this method of locking files and folders to work.//
