From Windows explorer
1) Click on the Tools menu item
2) Click on Folder Options
3) Select the View tab
4) Click on Show Hidden Files and folders
You will need to navigate to your desktop folder navigating from your C: drive before you can change the view. Path s/b C:\Documents and Settings\Your User ID\Desktop

try using the search feature, click start then search, type in the file name of one of the hidden files.
you can also try highlighting and right click on properties of the folder where you think the hidden files are unclick the hidden.
sometimes you can't see the icons because you changed your display settings so the icons are off the screen.

From start menu go to Search --> Files and Folders and type in name of one file. Are they all in the same place?
