   Third command is wrong, I think you probably meant /ah, /as, or /ahs,   
   and in fact you would have to do all three, then make three   
   comparisons.   
      
   It would be much easier to show all the hidden files and folders as I   
   suggested previously, then  the C: drive, choose Search, and   
   then type in *.lnk.  If the OP also wants to know which files are   
   hidden, in the Search window before starting the Search ...   
   	View, Choose details   
   ... select Attributes and give them a suitable width.   
      
   Note that this dialogue box can be a little unintuitive: click the   
   word Attributes, then click the select box for it, then click in the   
   width at the bottom of the dialogue and enter a suitable value, say   
   between 45 and 60, then click OK.
