        windows 2k:
        go to control panel
        click folder options
        click view
        click view hidden files

        Windows XP:
        From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
        Click the Appearance and Themes link.
        Double-click the Folder Options icon.
        Select the View tab.
        Under Hidden Files and Folders, select the Show Hidden Files and Folders option.
        Click OK.

            it's under properties. just select all of them and right click. there's two checkboxes, one for read-only and one for hidden. uncheck the hidden.
