Show super hidden files in Vista

[racer]

In Windows Vista, some files do not appear, even if the option "Show hidden files" is checked. These are "super-hidden" system files, which only appear by modifying the registry.

Showing super hidden files in Vista:

• Start button, type regedit and then Enter.
• Go to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced
• In the right pane, double-click the value SuperHidden, and type the number 1. (If SuperHidden is not present, it should be established by the usual method).
• OK and restart.

The super-hidden files are now visible in the explorer.

Here's another way on how to Show Super Hidden File/Folder from Command Prompt:

1. First click on start menu then run
2. Type : cmd
push enter button
it will give you the command prompt screen

3. Go to the drive where the files is hidden. say the file is in drive d. it's a folder named data. the full path will be (d:\data\). to go to the destination drive you can use command :

drive: push then push enter,
for example, type = d: enter
4.type : attrib -h -s /s /d data
where :
* h is hidden (we use minus sign to remove it)
* s is system
* /s means process all files in the directory (recursive)
* /d means process directory/folder as well
