Wven if you turn on show hidden files in Windows Explorer some files will remain hidden as Vista really doesnt want you to touch them.  These files are super hidden. Set the registry value below to 1.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"SuperHidden" = 1

You will need to reboot after changing this setting for it to work.

this is also a way to show those "super hidden files"

# Click Start.
# Open Computer.
# Press the ALT key.
# Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
# Select the View Tab.
# Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
# Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
# Click Yes to confirm.
# Click OK.
