Hello!
I pressed right click on a folder from my desktop, then properties, then at Attributes I pressed Hidden, and it disappeared. Where is it? How can I find it now?
I have windows 7. Help me please!

Here's how to display hidden files and folders.

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Click on Tools
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click the View tab.
5. Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK.

If you don't see Tools at the top then try substituting Organize for Tools in Step 2 and Folder and Search Options in Step 3

Once you see the hidden folder on your desktop you will need to right click on it and remove the check beside Hidden

Once the folder is no longer hidden it would be a good idea to change the settings back to "Do not show hidden files and folders"
