Today, having downloaded some files, I opened command prompt (cmd) to copy them to different locations, etc. The copy and paste file management on this computer isn’t reliable.\n<\/p>\n
\nI opened one directory to find only one inside, yet I knew, from Windows Explorer, that two were there. Was the other directory hidden? No. Moreover, if I entered cd thatdirectory<\/em> the command prompt let me enter it. Yet, the command prompt would not show it in its parent. What could be the cause?\n<\/p>\n \nFrom what I’ve been able to discover, the directory that wouldn’t display wasn’t hidden, but was, for some reason, attributed as a “system” directory. I entered attrib -s that_dir<\/em> and indeed, at dir<\/em>, it did show in the list. However, if I then entered attrib +s that_dir<\/em>, then dir<\/em>, it once again didn’t.<\/p>\n \nI hope to follow up, since my discoveries raise more questions.\n<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n easeus.com<\/a>\n<\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about Windows file management: the tutor shares a story.
