Infiltrator Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Have you tried doing a search throughout your computer, using the built in windows search functionality. You might also wanna try using something like this, when doing the search *.png, .jpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) open a command prompt and make sure you are in desktop path. for example: (vista and 7) cd c:\users\sigonon-name\desktop\ (XP, etc) cd c:\documents and settings\sigon-name\desktop\ Then do: "dir c:\*.jpg /AH /S > hidden-jpgs.txt" "dir c:\*.png /AH /S > hidden-pngs.txt" "dir c:\*.gif /AH /S > hidden-gifs.txt" "dir c:\*.bmp /AH /S > hidden-bmps.txt" etc,etc,etc.... You then have a list for each file type, and can be done not just for images, but any file type you want that is hidden. The /AH is to list all files with the attribute Hidden and /S is all subdirectories. You may want to run the cmd prompt as administrator on Vista or 7 though since YMMV depending on yoru security settings, you may not be able to access certain paths and folders if not set to run as administrator.
