In the same menu where you selected Show hidden files, there is another option to "Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)"...if you remove the checkbox from this you will get a warning, click OK and you should be able to see those hidden files.

Hi,
Well.... Assuming that your OS is Windows, it hides system files (files with extensions like .dll, .bin etc).
Kindly check the extensions of those files that are not visible.
Alternately, In Windows 2000/XP, you have the option of hiding OS Protected files. This can be seen by looking at Folder Options, View Tab.
Hope this helps you. Provide more info, if not like which OS, what file extensions are not visible etc.
