so my google-fu has failed me and i can not seem to find the cmd to use to show hiden folders. im tring to copy my user account from the main drive to a backup drive. it looks like it copys but then i get the message access denied. im using the Xcopy command with /i /e/ /h to make sure i get all the files. what im really after is my emails in thunderbird which is in a hidden folder, thus my problem. i have gotten everything else copied over but my emails.
To make sure, i need to know the cmd to show hidden folders. then what ever commands i need to do to gain acces to the folder. im using the CMD line from the windows 7 bootable DVD.
now your asking why not do it in windows or in safe mode. well im not sure what happened, i restarted my system one night. then i get this blank screen with the cursor, no login screen like normal. safe mode is the same way, doesnt matter how long each sit nothing is happening. well this did happen after avast said it was tring to delete a trojan or something labled as XXyXXU.DLL so what ever that file did, FUBAR!
