Answer 2

You can explore your computer drives and then see the whole files in a folder but if you are thinking that you can get the list for only the hidden files and folders then you can't do it. Sorry this facility is not given by Microsoft.

Answer 3

If you wanna see every hidden files including system super hidden files
do as follows.
go to:Start->Run->regedit
then go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Currentversion->Explorer->Advanced

When you click on advanced folder you'll see a large number of
REG_DWORD's on the right side.
Find REG_DWORD ShowSuperHidden
Right click on it and choose modify,the existing value will be 0 make it 1
and press ok. now close the registry editor.Now in whatever direction you browse in your system you'll see all the hidden files.

Now to hide this again you only have to change the value from 1 to 0.

CAUTION:Don't delete any file, that you uncovered, that you don't know about.
