You’re sitting in front of your computer and trying to open some of your important files and you’re wondering why are all your files were turned into a shortcut icon? Well you were probably infected by a computer virus. Actually your files were not deleted, they were just hidden by the virus.
But don’t worry these steps will teach you how to restore all your files.
First click on “Start” and type “cmd” on the search box or just click “Command Prompt”.
The “Command Prompt” will open.
Now on the command prompt type the directory where your lost files are located.
Type “F:” for example if your files are on drive F.
C:\>f:

and press enter.
It may take minutes depending on how many files you have.
