Hello Sophie,

What is it exactly that you're trying to do? The link you posted - www.spicerhallfield.co.uk/Montage_Vista.exe - is for a download, rather than being the name of a folder you'd expect to find on your computer.

However, to display hidden folders, go into your control panel and double-click on the Folder Options icon. (If using Vista, change the control panel view to Classic.)

In the Folder Options box, click on the View tab. Under Files and Folders is a subheading, called Hidden files and folders. Select "Show hidden files and folders," click "OK," and you should be good to go.
