+h

The above answer is incomplete and incorrect; "normally hidden" files in Unix merely start with the '.' character and are not normally shown by the ls command. Use the 'mv' to rename it if it doesn't start with a period.

What can be used in a windows file name?

In addition to letters and numbers, I know you can use any of these: . , ; ' ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) - _ + = < > [ ] { } <space> I know you cannot use ? * / : or " since they either are part of the filename path or are wildcards used in file searches. I don't know about \ or |. I almost never use spaces in my file names since you run into trouble when you forget to put quotes around the name/path. Also, I've seen a DOS command have trouble with & (I think it was the FOR command but I'm not sure). And I personally don't like using periods since under some circumstances it can lead to confusion regarding the file extension. Unlike UNIX, putting a period at the beginning of a file name does not make it a hidden file; you need to change the file's hidden attribute for that.


What is the command to make the file Myfile.txt a hidden file?

CD to the myfile.txt folder and then use this: attrib +h myfile.txt or attrib +h "path to myfile.txt" (include the quotes) attrib -h would remove the hidden setting

Depends on what the virus actually did to hid them. For instance, if you name a file with a leading . then the file is hidden. For example: .apple.txt would be a hidden file. If you enable hidden files to be shown that might do it.
