Hello,

Try this 1

Uncheck the check box "Hide protected operating system files" also.

Follow the instructions to make sure that they are not in hidden mode.

Click on Start --> In search box, type control folders and press Enter.

Now select the option "Show hidden files, folders or drives" and uncheck the

check box "Hide protected operating system files" --> Click on "OK" button.

Now look for the hidden files\folders in your drive.

Later undo the changes you have made by once again going to "Folder Options"

--> Click on "View" tab and click on "Restore Defaults" button --> Click on "OK".

Good Luck
