What do you mean by "hidden"? I guess you could open "My Computer", click the "Tools" menu, click "Folder Options...", click the "View" tab, click "Show hidden files and folders", and click "OK"

Oh, I see. You get the points michko
Only if this is what they need.  Wasn't completely sure what they meant by the question myself.  We'll see.
If you mean none of them are showing up, try Right clicking an empty part of the desktop, going to 'Arrange Icons By' and making sure that the "Show Desktop Icons" has a check next to it.
Actually Hudelf, that's part of the fix on the link I put out.
i dont know what you mean but if you want my computer and explorer and...
right click the desktop
properties
desktop
customize desktop
v on desktop icons or restore default
Ah, so it is. My apologies, michko. Didn't read the whole thing =P
