Can someone tell me how tolocate and display the hidden files on my system.
Trying to delete all the old files that I have uninstalled, got a lot of
leftovers, I'm sure. By the way is this a safe method. already used
add/remove, but still show files when I do a search for start-search-c drive.
Thanks for your help and wisdom.
 
Most hidden files are microsoft windows related , but if
you wnat to show all hidden files , opem my compter,
select your hard drive, Select tools(at above mene where
file edit etc), select folder options, select view, under
hidden files and folders check box for show hidden files
and folders
