Ever noticed that sometimes your Pendrive shows all folders as shortcuts, which are irritating and makes you unable to delete or move files, but today i am going to get you off this problem with this method.
This is caused by a file called autorun.inf , which is not a virus actually but kind of that because it disrupts normal operation of your pendrive. Its not a matter of panic because your files are absolutely safe and are in you flashdrive only. So we should go futher and fix it.
First note your pendive disk letter. Like if you pendrive name is Cruzerblade, It should be like
"Cruzerblade (G:)"
As you can see G is the drive letter. So now ready to do the main step.
NEXT STEP
Open cmd (Search cmd in start menu and open) and type your pendrive path ( The disk letter ) with this command. (assuming you drive letter is G )
attrib -h -r -s/s/d g:\*.*
After you did this open your pendrive and you can see the lost files and folders along with shortcut files and folders.
NOW COPY ALL YOUR STUFF FROM PENDRIVE TO PC...
After you copied all the files and folders you need reformat your pendrive. Now your pendrive is as new as it was before. You can now put the files again in pendrive.
