Show hidden program or system files Showing hidden files can come in handyâfor example, say you've tried to delete everything from a floppy disk and the disk properties still indicate 100K of disk space is being used by hidden files. To see hidden files, follow these steps in any folder window: 1. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. 2. Click the View tab. 3. Choose the Show hidden files and folders radio button. Warning! Don't be tempted to delete system files that Windows needsâwhen in doubt, leave them as you found them!
