How do I see hidden files and folders in Windows XP? My mischievous brother has hidden all my music and video files. He refuses to tell me how to get those files back. Appreciate all help given, and I hope I’m not causing anyone inconvenience here.

Click Start. Open My Computer. Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option. Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
This will unhide all hidden files and folders. After you get your files though back, I suggest you rehide the hidden files and folders in case you or another user of the computer deletes something accidentally.
