Open the folder containing the hidden files.

Click the View tab

Uncheck Hidden items

See if the files now show up.

If not...

Click Start, type: cmd

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type CD followed by the drive letter

example: cd x:\

Hit Enter

X represents the name of the drive letter

Once you have navigated to where the folder is on the drive, type:

Type the following command to restore your files: attrib *.* -h -s /s /d then hit Enter on your keyboard.

This should restore any hidden files in the folder.
