“Hi fellows, I have recently noticed that some of my files and folders carrying important information are missing from my system hard drive. This happened after I had transferred certain files from a friend’s pen drive. So I assume something went wrong and files got disappeared. But, one of my friends suggested me to use third party recovery software to find hidden files and folders on system? Can anyone tell me the best utility to recover hidden files and folders?”

This might be a situation faced by many computers users. Important files and folders go missing from hard drive without any notice and users wonder how to find them back. Usually, files and folders get hidden from user access in the following scenarios:

• Some files and folders may become invisible by losing its index value when harmful viruses or malwares attack hard drive
• Interrupted transfer of files from system hard drive to other storage devices due to power loss or removal of external storage device during file transfer process
• Frequent or abrupt termination of system can result in disappearing of certain files and folders from explorer

It becomes crucial when hidden files and folders carry important data. But one need not worry much as hidden files can be found by following these instructions:

• After opening Windows explorer, click on Organize button
• Then select folder and search option then click on View
