why use one of the dos commands? you can unhide them with windows explorer. Just select view options and check the box to show all files.
But if you insist -- type <c:\ help atrtrib>
D:\Users\AncientDragon>help attrib
Displays or changes file attributes.ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [+I | -I]
[drive:][path][filename] [/S [/D] [/L]]+ Sets an attribute.
- Clears an attribute.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
I Not content indexed file attribute.
[drive:][path][filename]

/S Processes matching files in the current folder

/D Processes folders as well.
/L Work on the attributes of the Symbolic Link versus
