Hi,
Go to Control panel>folder options>View, and Select show hidden files and folders if you have already tried this option Try the following method:

Open the "Registry Editor" ("Start" >> "Run", then type "regedit" and Enter).
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
If the value "SuperHidden" exists, double-click on it to edit its value to (0 = show hidden, 1 = do not show)
If the value "SuperHidden" does not exist, create it as follows
Name: SuperHidden
Type: DWORD
Value: 0
(0: show hidden, 1: do not show)
** Please take a backup of registry before editing.

And, ensure that you are the local administrator.
