In addition to showing hidden files, is there also an option to hide system 
files that you can disable?

Subject: Weird Hidden Folder

Hi All,

I have a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server with all the latest patches 
and service packs installed.

A folder was created: C:\data

There are active shares and a significant amount of data (150GB) under this 
folder.

Somehow the folder C:\data has become hidden.  It's not browsable via 
Windows Explorer.

Running attrib from a cmd prompt on C:\ shows no data folder.  Likewise 
neither does "dir".

I can cd into the Data folder and browse normally.

Turning on "Show Hidden Files and Folders" does nothing.

Running chkdsk c: shows no errors.  The drives are formated with NTFS and 
on a RAID 1 mirror.  The mirror is healthy.

Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most appreciated.

It's a new server so I don't think it's a virus or root kit.

Shawn
