I cav view my files and folders in command prompt by giving dir/ah …..Can i make my hidden files ……to un hide through cmd prompt and then copy??????????? :
that should work
open a command prompt, cd to the target dir (example: cd c:\Downloads\mp3z\classical\) and then list files in directory with dir (just type DIR)That would only list directory contents. preciselly! It will list the files in target dir
if you can see your files in the command prompt use the attrib comand
attrib -h testfile.txt or attrib -h *
