This has been an annoyance for many versions of Windows starting somewhere around the Vista \ Server 2008 time frame.
PROBLEM:
If you use Robocopy to copy folders they will be set to HIDDEN and the HIDDEN check box will be greyed out… can you say anoying.
CAUSE:
The HIDDEN Check Box becomes greyed out when a folder is CUSTOMIZED (right click a folder > PROPERTIES > CUSTOMIZE) so the solution is to un-customize it
SOLUTION… ok, lets call it a work-around:
There is a two step solution to this issue:
- right click folder > PROPERTIES > CUSTOMIZE (tab) > RESTORE DEFAULT > OK (button)
- right click folder > PROPERTIES > uncheck READ ONLY and HIDDEN > OK (button)
