Show Hidden Program or System Files in Windows
XP.
Showing hidden files can come in handy when you've tried
to delete everything from a floppy disk and the disk properties still indicate
100K of disk space is being used by hidden files.
To see hidden
files:
1. On the Tools menu
in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Under Hidden files
and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.
Note: To access
Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Windows
Explorer.
