I want to make a script that can unhide a single given file or folder. This question covers how to switch between hiding or unhiding all files, but I want to know how to do the same for only one given item. Is this possible, and how?

To hide a file or folder, use the following command:

attrib +h <target file/folder>

To unhide a file or folder, do the opposite:

attrib -h <target file/folder>

To hide all files/folders inside a given folder, first cd into this folder in question and then use this command:

attrib +h /s /d

And of course to unhide all the files and folders inside a directory, cd into it and issue the opposite of the previous command:

attrib -h /s /d
