How to see hidden files and change it back to normal

Hello, today I'm going to post about how you can see/change/modified/hide either inside your computer directory or thumbdrive. (Those boys/girls can easily hide your personal file if you have a shared computer..hehe)

Before I begin, I will guide you step by step(with picture of course) and a problem that usually happened in front of my eyes. You can share or teach this to your families and friends when you encounter the same problem that you have previously, a very simple and easy guideline.

CASE STUDY

The following picture will show you how usually you see your infected drive:

As you can see, your folder empty(or maybe a shortcut folder) which leave you baffling of how the bloody hell your folder are loaded when there are nothing inside. To learn how you can see your folders and files when it is hidden see the following picture;
First, go to "Organize" and click on "Folder and search options"


Then, when a pop up appear like the following; 1-Click on "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" and 2-Click "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)", there should be a pop up warning you about un-tick the 2nd one due to the fact that you may cause/accidentally delete any type of systems file. Make sure if you're going to leave it untick you better make sure you don't messing it around by deleting random shit.

Onward;
Now you know "how to see your hidden files skills" to brag your friends/families with, next stop is how to change it back to normal.(lol)
Usually when you Right-Click the folders/files "Properties" it will give you options to un-hide your junk back to normal. Since some virus/autorun override your files properties it will not give you any 
privilege to give you authorization of changing it back(bummer). 

Introducing ATTRIBUTE CHANGER!!
I would probably called it and "All-cure" for any hidden files disease that keep occurring to anyone one of you that didn't use it. Don't worry it's FREE, you can download it by clicking here or here.
Now to deal with our case study;
To get started, Right-click the files/folder that you want to un-hidden. Then click on the "Change Attribute" option and it will give you as following picture-

As you can see here, the arrow indicate the types of files that are available in your multiple selection(in simpler term, when you have files and folder selected together).
Untick the "Hidden"(which allow to on/off the hidden option) and "System"(which grant the file a 'system' properties that you can't do shit about when you want to change the hidden option before I introduce you to A.C); Apply the changes both "Folder Properties" and "File Properties" to see result;
Boom! As you can see your folders/files are back to norm, should be normal until the next time you connect to another computer and have the same problem again.

As far as I could concern about this info, it is easy to use but don't abuse it. You can use it to prank someone(lol), or just hide your porno and stuff...Until next time, PEACE!
