Search system and hidden files

Monday, January 5, 2009

In windows you cannot search hidden and system files, because by default search system does not support to search hidden and system files. This is normally done to protect these files from users to modify and delete accidentally. Many computer viruses, Trojan and hackers hide their files in your computer, in this way making it hard to find them and then delete them. Some key logger and password breaker software hides their files from user to keep user password and credit card history. But you can search these hidden files (viruses, spyware, key logger) with some modification in search system.
To search the hidden or system file, follow the giving step: 
  • First click on Start button then click on Search option.
  • Here click on "All files and folders" then click on More advanced options.
  • In advanced options, select the Search system folders and Search hidden files and folders check boxes.
  • Now your computer configured to search all hidden and system files.
