Answer 5

First, you need to know what your operating system is - Windows 98, ME, XP or Vista. For Windows XP, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click on Folder Options, click on the View tab, and you will see some choices with check boxes next to them. By checking or unchecking these choices you can set your view. Under the "hidden files and folders" you put a check next to "show hidden files and folders" and then look down the list to "hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck this selection. At the bottom of this popup select "Apply" and then OK to close. You should now be able to view hidden files and folders and also view the 3 letter extensions of the files inside of the folders (EXE, BAT, COM, etc.). Hope this helps...

First, if you know the name of the file, you can search for it, and then you can click on it, and change it's attribute back.

Second, if that does not work, you can go into your Control Panel.

1.Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
a. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Folder Options.
2.On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.
