Hidden Files

[Leland]

When I tried to open a data disk CD I saw where the files
were all hidden.
How does one make hidden files visible? I am using XP.
The files are all Word files and possibly some photos.

Open Windows Explorer and click the Tools button on the main toolbar. From
the drop down menu click Folder Options. When the folder options window
opens click on the View tab If you look down the list of advanced settings
you will see a section marked 'Hidden files and folders' Click the option
marked 'show hidden files and folders' Finally click the Apply button
followed by ok to exit. Your hidden folders should now be visible.
