Command to find hidden files


A simple Windows command will generate a list of all hidden files in a directory. Enter: dir /ah

The resulting list shows all hidden files in the current folder, but not subfolders.

This is alternative for the Tip of the Night for September 5, 2017, which discussed the attrib command which will list all files in a directory and put an H next to those files which are hidden.

The command: dir /ah /s

. . . will generate a list of all hidden files in the current folder and its subfolders.

Boy oh boy, but was it hot in New York City today!
