How to unhide/otherwise access files invisible to windows -


i have old application i've moved computer computer on years. running nt or maybe windows 95 when got it. still runs fine, tried of files created using , find hidden. when run app can read them or write them, when try access them either via command line or windows explorer not found. can see them cygwin command line, prefer explorer.

my theory because app old putting user data in c:\programfiles(x86)\myapp\data rather in user\appdata directory more recent versions of windows happier with.

what i've tried:

  • using attrib remove hidden attributes (failed permission issue)
  • same, running attrib in cmd window admin privileges (no permission error message, files not subsequently show up)
  • copying using cygwin command line (got unhelpful message "omitting directory `data'")

any suggestions try next? running windows 7.

i happy fix once , fix (setting permissions somehow?); satisfied workaround "run following command every time want files up").

edit: noticed strange may clue more knowledgeable am: files have been modified recently, opposed created, doing dir shows file information old version, though cygwin shows new information , that's see when read file using app.
