Show Hidden Vista Files And Folders.
When you are using Windows
Explorer not all available files and folders are visible in the directory list.
The main reason for this is that many of the files and folders are required by
the operating system and, if the file/folder names were visible, there is every
possibility that they could be inadvertently deleted.
While it may be necessary,
at times, to display these hidden files and folders it is advisable
not
to leave them permanently displayed.
To enable the Show Hidden
Files and Folder option proceed as follows:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. In the Windows Explorer
window, Click the Organize button.
3. From the drop down menu,
Click the Folder and Search Option.
4. in the Folder options
Window that appears, Click the View tab.
5. In the View tab look for
the section marked Hidden Files And Folders.
6. In this section Click on
the Radio button next to the Show Hidden Files And Folders Option.
7. Finally Click the OK
button.
8. To Hide the folders
again, Click the Radio button next to the Do Not Show Hidden Files And Folders
Option and then Click OK.
