Help Hidden folder not showing up on pc

Now, I've never had this problem with any other of my android phones. I have a few hidden folders on my sd card that start with a period to hide them from the gallery etc. I can view them fine with astro, but recently when I plug the phone into the computer, they aren't viewable on my computer

I have just read this post by nsa_sailor, post #6, at the link below. It may be worth a try.


>>In Android, if you want to prevent the media database from picking up files in a folder, you can either rename the folder to begin with a period ("."), or add in an empty text file named ".nomedia" into the folder. You may need to reboot after doing this for the media database to pick up the changes.<<
