Restoring "These files are hidden" message

When set up XP protects certain folders with a "These files are
hidden" message.

Once you have looked inside the folder the mesage is gone for good.

Can it be restored? I am the administrator on the family computer and
I want discourage younger members from poking around in the system.

Yes, you can restore them as the Administrator by
Click to expand...
rightclicking the files/properties and uncheck "hidden".
