Bill,

I've got a server that has a large number of hidden attribute ~*.doc

files. Anyone know of a way to get them all unhidden so that I can
delete them?

You didn't say what kind of server. If Windows, the command is:

attrib -h path/~*.doc /s

where the drive and path is optional if you are starting in the right
folder. The /s makes it recursive to include subfolders as well.
