    HIDDEN hidden folders


    I was doing backing up of certain files, reg files in particular (take ownership, add copyto, etc)
    I was using "everything" programs which lists files on all drives.
    I came across one reg disableanti.reg in a very odd place.I viewed the file in note pad and it said it disables
    antivirus programs and notifications. Possible leftover from a Virus? I deleted it of course.

    But here's the thing....It was in C:\users\thomas\skydrive
    Which when viewed in explorer wasn't there .
    to get to the file I had to type it into the address bar to get to it.
    show hidden and system file is checked in explorer option.

    My question is how can I see if there are other Hidden Hidden folder without knowing the name?

    :)

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
