How to display hidden files.

Not everyone knows how to hide objects in Windows. Many people do not even suspect the existence of such a function, and therefore to hide or, conversely, to show the hidden files of Windows 7 is not an easy task for them. In such folders it is convenient to add any personal information that I would like to hide from public view or protect access to it so as not to accidentally delete it. Also, many folders with system files are hidden by default. Hiding system files is a very important function, because if someone accidentally deleted such a file, the system could simply "die." It will need to be reinstalled. Also, removing hidden files can affect some programs. In principle, the process is not very complicated, but not very pleasant. If you are not afraid of that you can inadvertently delete an unnecessary file or folder, you can enable the display of hidden folders. However, this removes the whole meaning of the hidden files, since if they are still visible, there is no point in keeping them hidden.

If you enable the visibility of hidden objects, they will be displayed next to all other files. In appearance, the hidden files of Windows 7 differ only in that their icons (sketches) are almost completely transparent. Inside the hidden folders are ordinary files, but the root folders are still displayed hidden.

Making hidden files in Windows 7 visible is pretty easy. To display the hidden files of Windows 7, you should go directly to the control panel. Wherever it is, every user knows. On the "View" tab of "Folder Options", select "Show hidden files". Windows 7 is a very convenient operating system. And because, as you can see, this function is turned on very quickly and easily. There is another way to see the hidden files of Windows 7. Perhaps it's even easier. To do this, you need to select the "Tools" tab in the top menu of the browser, and then "Folder Options". Perhaps you do not see the top menu of the explorer. In this case, press the "Alt" key after the program is turned on.

You can also view the hidden files of Windows 7 in a third way. It's quite simple. If you use the Total Commander file manager, you can use its functionality to see the hidden files of Windows 7. In the program menu, you need to select "Configuration", and after - "Settings". In the left part of the window that appears, select "Panel Content". In the list of options on the left, tick the corresponding line. Remember that, including displaying hidden folders, you open access to system files, and if this computer is used by one of the children, then this action can lead to an unsafe outcome.

Hidden folders are also associated with various devices that are connected to the computer. It is meant that often, by connecting a player or phone to a PC, you can see that there are incomprehensible empty hidden folders on them. Their presence is not a problem, just control systems of these devices create different backup folders, placing temporary files in them . Usually, deleting such folders is only effective until the next time the device is turned on, since then they appear again.
