All Folders Became Shortcut! How to Fix Them?

Luckily, you don’t need a data recovery tool to fix this problem. The only thing that you need is just the command prompt.

Here I’ll show you how:

1. Go to Start > Run.
2. Type, “cmd” and click Ok.
3. Now type this command, and press Enter:

attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.*

Note: Replace f: with your USB drive letter.

4. Done.

You will see two folders in the USB thumb drive. One is the shortcut, and the other one is the original folder as shown below.

 

Now copy the orginal folders to a safe place, and format your USB thumb drive. This to ensure that your thumb drive is completely free from the trojan virus, and don’t forget to scan your computer with antivirus too.

That’s all. Hope this help!
