A brief excerpt of the tutorial can be found here:
Windows 7 hides certain files so that they are not able to be seen when you
exploring the files on your computer. The files it hides are typically Windows
7 System files that if tampered with could cause problems with the proper operation
of the computer. It is possible, though, for a user or piece of software to
set make a file hidden by enabling the hidden attribute in a particular file
or folder's properties. Due to this it can be beneficial at times to be able
to see any hidden files that may be on your computer. This tutorial will explain
how to show all hidden files in Windows 7.
