Hope this helps

Hi,

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization -> Folder Options -> View Tab
or
Windows Explorer -> Alt + t -> Folder Options -> View Tab

and next:
- Show hidden files and folders
- Hide protected operating system files

iv tried everything man but it doesnt work my file wont show and i no its
there because this happened before and i downloaded this program that made
hiddens files show again but i cnt remember were from.

To unhide system files open Windows Explorer the click Organize>Folder and
Search options>View. In the View tab look at the list of Advanced settings.
Scroll down to the section marked 'hidden files and folders' In this section
you will see 4 options:

Do not show hidden files and folders (this is the default)
Show hidden files and folders
Hide Extensions for known file types
Hide protected operating system files (recommended)

Remove the check mark (tick) from the 'Hide protected operating system files
(recommended) option. You will see a warning that you are about to change
this option. Just click OK. Your hidden protected operating system files
should now be visible.

Hello,

Easier way I found to get to Folder Settings is:
Start button-> Computer-> hit your ALT button and the toolbar appears->
Folder options.


Thnx
