Hello,
You open the workspace, then go to "Tools", then to "Folder Options".
Next, you go to the "View" tab and check the box "Show hidden files and folders".
There you go

Hello
thank you for telling me how you displayed the hidden folders because I couldn't manage it with option > folder options > checked display hidden folders > apply > ok
Note: the box automatically unchecks itself once I click ok when I reopen the same page I find it unchecked thank you for responding.

Hello,
I wanted to say that for those who are trying to come at me to get a "BUNCH OF THINGS", whenever you give an answer, no matter the site, you are unbelievable because you do this either from morning till night, or you are little geniuses "maybe in computing", but do you know the word "pedagogy"? Because frankly, you are lacking in that area. One can be good at many things and perhaps not in computing... So before you throw answers around, maybe take the time to know if the person asking you the question at least knows how to find: options, because there are options at every corner of the page. So if you want to show us "YOUR KNOWLEDGE", start from the beginning. For example, I was told 50/100/1000 times that to access DOS you do Run, but note that in Vista there is no Run, so if you don't press Windows + R, you won't see "RUN" appear. It's simple, isn't it... take the time to explain or otherwise don't be on forums... I've said what I thought.
Have a good day.

Cristalune, before criticizing, learn to talk. Moreover, it’s not that complicated, just execute, there’s only one: On XP, you have the icon, on 7 you type "cdm" in the search box of Start, and on Vista apparently it’s alt+r. And don’t talk about pedagogy or whatever, it’s not a teacher you know, you ask a question, he answers based on what he knows, if you can’t understand, that’s your problem.
And for the guy who said "you go to options", he explained where it was, how to get there, etc… (computer > tools > folder options) So don’t say
"at least it’s how to find: options, because there are options all over the page"
because he said how to find options, so before you speak, read a post properly!
With that, have a good evening.

You click on "Start," click on the "Search" box, and before starting the search for hidden files, you need to click on "All files and folders." Then you click on "Advanced options," next, you must check "SEARCH IN HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS," and finally, you start your search normally, and you will find them.
I had exactly the same problem with the Brontok A virus, the issue is resolved and now on my toolbar, two options are available to me:
internet option or synchronize!!! not the window I had before, that is to say options folders display...
it reminds me of my youth when I hid things so well from my girlfriend that I had trouble finding them
thank you for helping me

I have a little problem; I have Windows Vista but I can't find "tools" in my folder. I need it to change the format of a file!
I hope that's clear enough!
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
I tried the method with Nero, the method with the registry editor, and of course checked the box to "show hidden files", but I still can't display my hidden files. If you have any other solutions, I’m all ears.
Thank you in advance.

Salam everyone
Here is the solution: use "Nero" (start > all programs > Nero > Nero StartSmart > create a data CD > add) using the window that will open when you click on add (choose the files and directories) go through all the folders you usually open and all the folders you opened after you encountered this problem, you will notice the presence of a strange file (or more) (virus), which is common in all those folders, so delete the file(s)... the problem is solved. You need to do the same for partitions, USB drives, memory cards... before accessing them. It may take some time, but you will be able to keep all your data. Formatting did not get me anywhere...

HELP PLEASE
So... I'm not great with computers but this is kind of weird, I hope someone can help me...
On one of my hard drives, I have a folder that is getting bigger on its own, and it's starting to eat up all my small hard drive space, but I don't know what it is... the file is 2GB, but when we check folder by folder, we find only 11MB of memory and a few files...
Basically, there are hidden files, but the problem is that my Tools bar in My Computer is showing me crap... (mail and news, windows update and sync)... Basically, I can't find the option to show hidden files...
Can anyone tell me something about this, other than changing PCs (lol) Anyway, thanks for reading and even more to anyone who replies!!!!

I'm also having this problem and I think it's more complicated when I choose (show hidden folders and files + apply then ok) nothing is displayed and the same goes for the other methods...
What's the solution??
What's the solution??
don't stress out my friend, here's the solution:
try:
start>run>type regedit
the registry opens, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN
on the right side double click on CheckedValue, change the value to 2, the same for DefaultValue
then move to the following key: i.e.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
on the right side double click on CheckedValue, change the value to 1, and set DefaultValue to 2.

Hello! (Please excuse my spelling in advance)
My problem is: I just acquired a laptop with Vista Premium, when I go online and access my temporary internet files, I'm missing a lot of folders!!
In the properties attributes, the (hidden) box is locked!! In my opinion, that's what's preventing me from seeing the files I'm interested in! Another hypothesis is that the files are saved elsewhere???
