By default XP is designed to completely hide protected system files, plus
files with the hide attribute set. This is great for newbies to prevent
them from messing around, but for power users it is essential to see all
the files...this is how to do it:

1. open my computer
2. click tools, folder options
3. click view tab
4. uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
5. check "Show hidden files and folders"
6. click ok
