you need to enable show hidden files to show hidden files go to the control panel and click folder options click the view tab and look for show hidden files and folders then put a dot in show hidden files and folders then click apply
to show important system files remove the tick in the box that reads hide protected operating system files (recommended) and click apply

Go to 'My Computer', then the 'Tools' menu; select 'Folder Options', then a new window will appear. There are some tabs, select the tab 'View', then look for the list 'Hidden Files and Folders'. There will be two other sub lists, select the list 'Show hidden files and folders'. Then press 'Apply' and 'OK'. And becareful when you open these hidden files, many of these files are vital to the computer and will cause serious problems if they were modified, moved, or deleted.
