Q.  I spent an hour looking for a file that a friend told me I had to delete to fix a problem.  It was finally bought to my attention that the file is hidden by default in Windows.  How do I view hidden files in Windows?

A.  To view hidden files in Microsoft Windows, perform the below steps.

1. Open Windows Explorer 

2. Click the "Tools" drop down menu.

3. Click either "Folder Options" or "Options".

4. Click the "View" tab.

5. Within the view tab, select the option "Show hidden files and folders".

When enabled, you will be able to distinguish a hidden file from other files quickly by looking at the icon. Hidden files will appear as if they are faint (slightly grayed out). You can also look at the file attributes to see if it is a hidden file.

Let me know if you need anything else.
