How can you know if there's a hidden, inaccesible file/ folder like C:\System Volume Information in your PC?





Just in case you don't know that "C:\System Volume Information" actually exists in the world of virtuality, how can you know that such files exists?





Is there anyway to know such files if you don't know their paths, locations, and etc., say can you do it in cmd? or control panel? regedit? any freewares?











Thank You very much for your efforts!


TNX!

Sometimes there is an simple workaround. In the case of 'System Volume Information' folder you have to go to Tools-%26gt;Folder Options-%26gt;View. Click the 'Show hidden files and folders' radio button and uncheck 'Hide protected files and folders'. A pop message will appear, click yes.

For security reasons you should always uncheck 'Hide extentions for known file types'.

Reply:System Volume Information is related to your System Restore and you shouldn't be trying to mess with it or you can corrupt your system.





There are other types of protected files. You can display all hidden files and folders vua Control Panel, Folder Options but they are default hidden for a purpose, so that people don't accidentally remove or corrupt files that are essential to your computer's functionality and stability .





That being said, sometimes certain malware can hide itself in there and you have little choice but to access it.
