Retrieving data from pendrive containing shortcut files



Often people see that the data in their pen-drives are converted into shortcuts making them unable to see the data.It is due to virus which is changing the permissions to the files in the drive.It can be observed that capacity of the pen-drive is occupied but the files are not visible.

Then in that case just perform these steps to retrieve back your original data.

Go to command prompt (win+R ->cmd)
Go to the directory of pen-drive (If it is G: drive, then type G: and hit enter)
now run the following command.
attrib /s /d -r -a -s -h * Now you can see that the data in your pen-drive is visible.
Have a backup of that data and format the drive and use it further. :)
