SVG Veteran Posted September 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 19, 2008 I recently re-installed Windows Vista w/ SP1 using a slipstreamed ISO and after setting it up with all the regular apps that I use I discovered this weird problem.. The Documents and Settings folder shortcut (usually hidden in Vista) and the All Users folder (also hidden) have become visible and I'm unable to hide them again.. I hope anyone can help me with this Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/671446-protected-os-files-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kami- Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi open a Command Prompt as Administrator. Make sure it is in C:\ (If not just use "CD .." no quotes until it gets there) now type: attrib +S +H "C:\Documents and Settings" attrib +S +H "C:\Users" Hopefully that works :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/671446-protected-os-files-problem/#findComment-589818600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
