Accidently hide important folder

[Noobtastic]

I chose hidden and not read only. The file disappeared and now I don't know how to bring it back.



I searched for it on the bar but to no avail.



Is there some combination of keys I need to do in order to bring it back?


HELP?

Tools, folder options, show hidden files and folders.

Or attrib -h filename from the command line

start/ settings/ control panel/ folder options/ view/ hidden files and folders - show hidden files and folders.
-assuming u use a classic start panel

otherwise just find control panel and continue sets listed above

Depends what OS. In 2000/XP, from any Explorer window. In Vista, hit the big Organize button or hit the Alt key to see the "classic" menus.

What are you talking about??


I'm using vista - I pressed alt and "file" is highlighted. I don't know what this organize button is. Where are you??

Right here: http://itsvista.com/wp-images/posts/06_12/hidden1.jpg

The button right under the forward/back buttons. Click that then click folder and search options. Hitting ALT brings back the old menus (like XP). You can get to the same menu by hitting ALT, clicking on tools, then folder options.

Yea, because it's the first MS O/S to allow hiding files :roll:
