Recover Files on Flash/External/Hard Drive that Changed to Shortcuts

If you connected your flash drive to an infected computer, all your existing files may get converted into shortcuts. The file names will be weird. But if you check the space usage, you will find that the data is still there. No need to worry!

I have a solution.
Just follow simple steps below:

• Connect your pen/flash/external drive to your computer.
• Go to My Computers and check what drive it is assigned for example F: or G: drive. Lets assume its G: (replace it with correct letter as applicable in your case).
• Click on “Start” –>”Run”–> type cmd and hit OK. This will start command prompt.
• Enter the following command and hit “Enter”.

attrib -H -R -S /S /D G:\*.*
