USB Files Turn `shortcut` and RUN.DLL occurs

It might occur that when you open your USB drive icon, it displays a shortcut icon inside it, and when you try to open it, instead of showing all the stored data, a warning boxnamed "Run.dll"  appears displaying "there was a problem. specified module could not be found."

In such case, just follow these steps to recover back your data:

- Scan the USB drive and make sure it's clean
- Go to Computer and check your USB drive letter path (example F)
- Go to Start > Run > type "cmd" in the box (without quotes)
- In the command prompt type the following line:

attrib -h -r -s F:*.* /s /d

Where F can be replaced by your driver letter.

Check if it works and the folders are back to normal. If so, you can delete the shortcuts.
