I have this perplexing folder that I'm the "Owner" and I have all NTFS rights on it: it's invisible. I would like to make it visible without having to check the "Hide protected operating system files" in Windows Explorer.

Powershell does not even let me see the file, even with Run as Administrator.

Any command line tool I can use? Windows Explorer will not let met unhide it. Option is greyed out.

Try "attrib" from a command window. – Carlos Nov 30 '10 at 12:54

If you have the full path, you can try using attrib to remove the system/hidden attributes from the folder.

attrib -s -h

Get-ChildItem -Force will show you the folder.
