How To Hide Things And View Hidden Things
A guide by Nemmyy exclusively for Support Forums 
Yes, I know the title is very vague but it's because this tutorial goes over both folders and files. This tutorial is how to actually hide folders/files and view them, not just picking a transparent icon and calling it hidden.
If you have hidden files/folders shown you can still tell if they're hidden or not. Look at the little icon next to the file, for example, the word document next to a ".doc" file. If the file is hidden the icon will be partly transparent.
Hiding Folders/Files
- Find your folder or file and right click it
- Click properties at the bottom of the little window
- Click the box next to hidden
When hidden folders are being shown, you can unhide a folder by doing the same steps above except by unchecking the box next to hidden.
Hiding/Showing Hidden Files and Folders
- Click the start orb on the bottom left of your screen
- Search "Folder Options"
- Click the only entry that comes up under "Programs"
- Go to the "view" tab on the window that popped up
- Under advanced settings
- Select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" if you want to show your hidden items
- Select "Don't show hidden files, folders, and drives" to hide your hidden items
- Select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" if you want to show your hidden items
- Hit OK
