Hi, I use Windows XP Pro. I am not able to view hidden folders even
when I select "Show hidden folders" in the folder options.

Maybe one of these:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 155. Enable/Disable Show Hidden Files/Folders

"Note: To view the hidden folder - Go to: Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder
Options/View/Show Hidden File and Uncheck Hide Protected Operating
System Files."

Is this when you search using Windows Explorer?

You may not have checked the first three boxes in More Advanced Options.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings
and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is
checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You
may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make
certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is
not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is
selected and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name,
Type, Total Size, and Free Space.

Hope this helps.
