Some virus has named all the folders in the usb flash disk to foldername.lnk (the folder named games has been changed to games.lnk).Properties of the flash drive shows size of the folder as the disk space used.How do I restore the folder with batch file or vbscript?

---

Create a batch file and write this

attrib -h -s -r \s \d

this will change attributes of all files and folders at current directory

---

Update:

The following vbScript will rename all folders having extension like folder_name.someExtension and make them with previous names.

create 2 files:
1. script.vbs
2. rename.bat

script.vbs

Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = objFS.GetAbsolutePathName(".")
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)

For Each Folder In objFolder.SubFolders
   Folder.Name=Mid(Folder.Name,1,InStrRev(Folder.Name,".")-1)
Next

rename.bat

cscript /nologo script.vbs

Place them is same folder where changed folder are. And run the rename.bat file.

and That's it.
Enjoy :)

Using "attrib -h -s -r \s \d" immediately did the trick for me, except for one thing. The backslashes ( \ ) should both be forward slashes ( / ) So

attrib -h -s -r /s /d

But nontheless, many thanks to the original poster of the solution, because it really helped me. I just thought i'd point it out for other people who might need to do this.

The Folders attributes must have been changed to Hidden+System+Readonly. Delete the links. And enable "View Hidden Files" and "View System Files" to view your folders.

Cheers!
