This is not possible. If you go to start in your tray, and run, and type in: c://program files. Click on "ok", and all your hidden files should appear. (I would advise you not to mess with them, being they are hidden for a reason. Taking out a wrong hidden file, can cause you to have to reinstall your platform)..

That can be a symptom of malware on your machine. If you have an anti-virus, I suggest you make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run it. If you don’t have one, many people here swear by AVG (it’s free).
I also suggest you download Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above doesn’t seem to be able to get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again, this time in Safe Mode. Safe Mode often prevents the malware from running and protecting itself.
Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
To get into Safe Mode:
1. Log out and reboot your machine.
2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3. Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance. Log in as Administrator. Administrator often has no password.
5. When you're finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
Update and run them all regularly.
Good luck.
