How to Find Hidden Files and Folders in Windows

[Edit]

If you want to see all the hidden files/folders on your computers, here's how!
Steps
1. Click "Start"
2. Click "Control Panel"
3. Switch to the classic view (if you're using Windows XP.)
4. Click "Folder Options"
5. Click the tab called "View"
6. Check "Show hidden files or folders".
7. If you also wish to view system files, Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
Warnings
1. Do not delete hidden or system files if you do not know what they do. Many of these files are hidden for a reason. Consult the internet or a friend who is proficient with computers before deleting, editing or moving any of these files. Sometimes this can make a computer un-bootable.
