How to see hidden files and folders on Windows 7? I was told "C:\Users\<userid>\AppData" is hidden folder. But I want to see what in that folder.

By default, Windows 7 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 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Contacts 04/06/2015 10:06 AM <DIR> Desktop 04/14/2015 03:32 PM <DIR> Documents 04/15/2015 10:36 AM <DIR> Downloads 03/16/2015 09:30 AM <DIR> Favorites 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Links 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Music 04/14/2015 03:15 PM <DIR> Pictures ... C:\Users\john>dir /ad > hidden.txt 01/05/2012 11:23 AM <DIR> AppData 01/05/2012 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Application Data [C:\Users\...] 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Contacts 01/05/2012 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Cookies [C:\Users\...] 04/06/2015 10:06 AM <DIR> Desktop 04/14/2015 03:32 PM <DIR> Documents 04/15/2015 10:36 AM <DIR> Downloads 03/16/2015 09:30 AM <DIR> Favorites 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Links 01/05/2012 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> Local Settings [C:\Users\...] 03/12/2015 08:41 AM <DIR> Music 01/05/2012 11:23 AM <JUNCTION> My Documents [C:\Users\...] 04/14/2015 03:15 PM <DIR> Pictures ...
2. Turning on "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in Folder Options in Windows Explorer.
On Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder options... to see the Folder Options dialog box.
Click "View" tab and turn on "Show hidden files, folders and drives" option
Click "Apply to Folders". You should see all hidden files in all folders now.
