I remember some time back when i had the shortcut virus problem, i had to format my entire drive thinking all hope was lost as my anti-virus program could only remove the virus but it did not recover my files that were turned to shortcut.
At another instance,I had the same problem, but much more important documents. I had to research on how to recover my files in the folders. I'm going to post it here in 4 easy steps, in case you encounter the same problem.
STEP 1: Plug in the flash, memory card or drive you want to recover your folders from to your computer
STEP 2: Go to "My Computer" check and note the letter that represents the plugged-in drive
STEP 3: Go to START -> RUN -> cmd. or Click the Start button and search "cmd" then click to open
STEP 3: In the command prompt, Type attrib -h -r -s /s /d F:\*.*
(Note: Replace the "F" with the letter you noted in step 2)
STEP 4: Once you hit the Enter button, give it some time to work. When you see the next line of command, go back to your drive, you will see your folders. Delete the unnecessary files, and you are Good to go.
Drop a comment if it works for you! Cheers.
