How to Fix File Folders Become Shortcuts in Removable Media
Have you ever met this kind of wired situation? Your file folders suddenly became shortcuts when you connect the removable media (USB pen drive, external hard drive and sd memory card etc.) to your computer and try access data in it. You have sizable files say a couple GB in the drive, but it just shows 1KB or 2KB and so on. You also tried the removable media in a different PC, still the same problem occurred. How to make the file folders accessible again or how to recover lost files first of all?
What Caused to Your Folders?
Yes, you may already guess it - probably the virus or Trojans (like BUOUFO, QWERT etc) or autorun.inf worm. Your pen drive or memory card may be suffered or infected. As a result, the files or folders become "hidden". Sometimes you can make them visible again by switching to non-hidden mode, while most of the times you have to kill those virus or Trojans.
How to Fix Folder Shortcuts Problem?
To start with, do not format the removable media immediately as formatting will make the data insides much harder to be recovered, and format won't be necessary to kill the virus. Sometimes it won't let you format the device. For example autorun.inf worm will stop a flash drive from being formatted. So follow the steps below and see if you can make things right.
#1 Check whether the files are not in hidden mode.
Click on "Start" -->Run-->type cmd and click on OK.
Here I assume your removable drive as G:
Enter this command: attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* (replace the letter g with your usb or memory card "removable drive" letter showed under "My Computer").
Then check if your real files will be showed.
Note: if you have formatted the drive, simply bypass this step and go to #2 directly.
#2 If your files won't show. You have to use some strong anti-virus or anti-malware programs to eliminate the virus or trojans. Download freeware Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from CNET and install it on your computer. You may also find more free anti-virus programs from this post. Then connect your removable media. Run the software to perform a "Full Scan" of the drive which may contain those virus or trojans. '); Default selected option is "Quick Scan". This way should kill those problem makers. After that see if the file folders will be accessed normally.
#3 If you find your folder files missing, do not worry. Take a try of this data recovery tool (take the free trial) and see if you can recover the deleted files or folders. This way should be your final solution.
Are the solutions helpful for fixing your folder shortcuts problem in your USB flash or memory card etc? Making your voice heard in comments is always great.
Note: folders shortcuts problems vary a lot here and there, I am unable to solve every trouble my readers asked in the comments. As a result, I am listing several articles I found helpful on the Internet that is similar to the topic in the following. Hope they will also help you. Best regards!

Steps to Fix folders become shortcuts in removable disk
Fix Step 1: Check if the files or folders are in hidden mode.If you are running Windows XP, click on "Start" -->Run --> type ‘cmd’ and click OK.
For Windows Vista or 7, click “Home + R” combination and type ‘cmd’ and click OK.
Then enter this command.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.*
You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and paste it. (note: I assume your removable disk shown as ‘removable disk F’ under ‘My Computer’, the drive may show as other letters like G etc, replace it)
Now check for your files in drive.
Fix Step 2: Download an anti-virus program to kill the virus
Malwarebytes Free edition usually works good to clean the kind of virus. You may also turn to some other free anti-virus or anti-spyware like AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition etc.
WARNING: Most cases when you finish step 2, the folders shortcuts problem will be solved and your files will be visible again. If still not, please read step 3.
Fix Step 3: Recover the data first
If you have some valuable data insides the USB, memory card or external DD, try recovering the data first of all. This is to do the best to make sure you won’t lose any data.
For those who got media files in the drive, try Photo Recovery Software. It is a program which can recover lost pictures, videos and music.
For those who had some significant documents say Word, PDF, PPT etc, try Data Recovery Software.
Fix Step 4: Format the drive in your removable disk
This should be your final solution. Use quick format option and wipe everything on the problematic drive quickly. The folder files shortcuts gone too.
Note: after the format, re-use the data recovery program recommended on Step 3 and see if you can recover more data. Because general format won’t erase the data on the drive immediately until they are overwritten by new data.
The 4-step fix solution should eliminate folders become shortcuts on your removable media like USB pen drive, memory card or external disk drive etc. Read every step instruction carefully and take action to fix it yourself.
