5. Type “attrib [name of file/folder] -r -a -s -h” if you’re going to unhide files, you should type the whole name plus the extension (example: attrib banner.psd -r -a -s -h)

Now stay away from those free things and sites.  It is not really free when you have to fix your PC or your data or identity is stolen.
