By default, Windows 10 marks a number of important files and folders as hidden to prevent you changing or deleting them accidentally.
There are two ways to see hidden files and folders:
1. Using the "dir /ad" command in a command window. For example, if your user ID is john, you can run the following command to see all hidden files and folders:
C:\>cd users C:\Users>cd john C:\Users\john> C:\Users\john>dir > dir.txt 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Contacts 04/06/2017 10:06 AM <DIR> Desktop 04/14/2017 03:32 PM <DIR> Documents 04/15/2017 10:36 AM <DIR> Downloads 03/16/2017 09:30 AM <DIR> Favorites 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Links 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Music 04/14/2017 03:15 PM <DIR> Pictures ... C:\Users\john>dir /ad > hidden.txt 01/05/2017 11:23 AM <DIR> AppData 01/05/2017 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Application Data [C:\Users\...] 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Contacts 01/05/2017 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Cookies [C:\Users\...] 04/06/2017 10:06 AM <DIR> Desktop 04/14/2017 03:32 PM <DIR> Documents 04/15/2017 10:36 AM <DIR> Downloads 03/16/2017 09:30 AM <DIR> Favorites 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Links 01/05/2017 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Local Settings [C:\Users\...] 03/12/2017 08:41 AM <DIR> Music 01/05/2017 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> My Documents [C:\Users\...] 04/14/2017 03:15 PM <DIR> Pictures ...
2. Turning on "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in Folder Options in Windows Explorer.
On Windows Explorer, click "View" tab. Then click on "Options" icon. You see the Folder Options dialog box.
